Here's how it works: Writers submit 10-minute plays, randomly select actors, hand out scripts, give direction for 2 minutes, and let the magic begin as the actors attempt to perform a play they’ve never read or seen before! Anyone can participate as a writer or actor… or just watch the fun as part of the audience! At the end of the night, actors and attendees vote for their favorite shows.
Join us at 6:30 p.m. for a drink from the bar and to mingle with fellow patrons. At 7:00 p.m. the POP competition starts on stage and the fun begins for audience members, volunteer actors, and writers alike!
POP is a free event, but drink sales help us keep the lights on, so do us a favor and wet your whistle while you’re here.
POP is a wonderful opportunity to share your creative writing in a fun and interactive way! As we exhibit the vibrant writing of our KCTG community, please keep in mind that the actors and audience may have different views than the playwright. Our goal is to foster an environment of comfortable fun for all involved, regardless of religion, age, race, creed, gender, or political ideology.
We can't wait to hear some great scripts at the next POP event. Remember to keep things light and considerate of all the members of our community. Please enjoy the show and keep coming back!
POP is for Everyone! 18 and up; some language and themes may be of an adult nature.

Scrooge MacBeth Auditions
“Scrooge Macbeth” takes the meaning of ‘the show must go on’ to a whole new level. Bob, Sylvia, Victor, and Renee are the last four actors standing when a food poisoning outbreak sidelines most of the cast on the opening night of the Hartland Community Theatre’s holiday production, Shakespeare’s classic, "The Winter’s Tale."
But that’s not the only setback: Sylvia has just discovered a boatload of red ink in the theatre group’s ledger. With impending financial ruin, a shortage of cast members, and an expectant audience just outside the doors, can these four amateur thespians concoct some kind of holiday entertainment in time to save their theatre?
Directed by Patti Gatto
Cast Size: 3 Women, 2 Men
Audition Dates: October 2nd & 3rd, 7:00pm
Aboveboard
A quirky, romantic comedy written by Peter Bloedel and Emily Kimball. Directed by Ray Crew.
