Blogologues

Overview of Idea

We use new media to forge real-life connections. Blogologues is a live, multimedia stage show that features material performed verbatim from the internet. Through laughter, we explore how social media is shaping modern communication and providing an outlet for diverse and unique voices.

The Specifics: What will the $3,000 fund?

We create Blogologues along different topics, and this summer we would like to mount a full run with a Tech theme. $3,000 pays for a 45-seat NYC theater for six performances; the remainder of the funds will go towards projections, costumes, props, and stipends for our cast and creative team.

This version will encompass all things related to how our modern world communicates (text exchanges, dating profiles, missed connections, etc.). We also plan to crowdsource a post to perform, in an effort to further bridge the gap between blogger, audience, and actor. We hope to inspire audiences to reclaim face-to-face, human connection, and we believe that comedy is the ideal way to unite strangers in a shared experience.
