Malone's to host pop-up theatre day
Malone's to host pop-up theatre day
Fancy a spot of pop-up theatre? Then Malone's Bar in Glasgow's Sauchiehall Lane is the place to be on Sunday March 30 from 6.30pm.
The Pop-Up Theatre Company, which has the aim of presenting short dramatic works in non-theatre spaces, is launching a new venture Acting Up in the upstairs function suite of the recently opened establishment. A monthly night of short plays, usually one act with small casts and minimal staging, will begin with four plays, two entirely new and another an award-winner being donated, royalty-free, to the occasion by its American author.
Students, professionals and am-dram enthusiasts are welcome onstage as well as in the audience, and if you are in the former this time round (£5 on the door), you could be in the latter next month (participation is cost-free, although writers' royalties are the performers' responsibility).

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
