Blogologues: Social Media Goes Thespian

Brave and funny are a powerful combination. It takes courage to create something new and perspective to make people laugh. Blogologues snares you with both of these qualities in a completely contemporary format. You can’t not laugh… but while you are laughing you feel like maybe you understand something you didn’t before… about the wild variety of the internet… which is a reflection of the world itself, which apparently is rife with funny, crystal clear moments.

Blogologues is a staged performance which proudly blurts out right from the start that all of its material comes VERBATIM from the internet. As such, Blogologues is a mini-tutorial on how actors can bring words to life. Lively Productions, the company behind all the theatrics, could not be more aptly named.

Blogologues is the brainchild of Yale graduates Allison Goldberg and Jen Jamula.

I walked up three flights of stairs and waited in a narrow hallway for the performance to begin, but it's clear to me that Blogolgues is going bigger places. Get aboard for one of its monthly, thematic shows so you can say you were there back then, and that you had the incredible insight to recognize yet another way the evolving media mix expresses our modern world.
