Blogologues is an inventive New York-based production that turns the Internet into theater. Created by Allison Goldberg and Jen Jamula, it’s a fascinating blend of digital culture and live performance. Here’s what you need to know:
- Concept: Blogologues take posts from the Internet verbatim and remix them into a performance piece. The material can come from various sources, including blog posts, Craigslist ads, tweets, and more obscure forums.
- Themes and Material: Initially, they used whatever material tickled their fancy, but now they give each show a theme. They choose keywords related to the theme (like cabs, cronuts, bars, etc.) and search for monologues and dialogues that fit.
- Word-for-Word: The scripts are all word-for-word from the Internet. They create characters and scenarios based on this raw material as an ensemble. Sometimes, the original authors of the content end up attending the show, which must be surreal for them!
- Press and Recognition: Blogologues has been featured in Time Out New York, The Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, and Betabeat. It’s been called a “cult hit” and “the best-kept secret in NYC.” If you’re looking for something hilarious, fun, and off-the-beaten-path, Blogologues is a must-see.
So, it’s not your typical theater experience—it’s a fresh take on storytelling!
