It’s potluck but with no dinner! The mystery meal is the script and nobody knows what this week’s theatrical play is until the lid is lifted on the night!Every Monday at 6pm, PIP Theatre opens its doors and bar to Brisbane audiences, actors and creatives. At 6:15pm the play is revealed! Those that purchased a reader ticket will be cast in a role while audience grab a beverage and mingle with fellow creatives.
What can I expect as an Audience Member?
Audiences get to watch a raw moved reading of a theatre play discovering it at the same time as the actors. Expand your knowledge of plays and talk about what was discovered afterwards over a drink. Grab your $10 audience ticket now and be entertained!
What is a 'Reader Ticket'?
You are cast in a role at 6:15pm and then get to practice your cold reading skills in front of an audience.
Readers and audience are all on the same level having no prior knowledge of the play which is projected on the walls, freeing the readers from holding a script and allowing them to move about the stage.
If you want to hone your acting craft in a low-pressure supportive environment, grab a reader ticket for just $20.
What do I need to prepare as a 'Reader'?
There is no preparation required! No one has prior knowledge of the play. Just be ready to have fun with it!
We do ask that you book your reader ticket two or more weeks in advance so we can cast a play equal to the number of readers that have booked that night.
What is expected of a 'Reader'?
As these are moved readings that have not been rehearsed you will not be physically touching your fellow performers and all stage directions will be read out loud by the projectionist to create a safe comfortable environment. That said there will be a stage and we do encourage you to use the space and your body. The beauty of Potluck plays is it’s impossible for you to get it right or wrong on a first-time read and the audience knows this. We are all along for the experience so take risks and most importantly, play.
