Christwire Posts to be Featured in NYC Play – Blogologues

Allison & Jen

Christwire was recently contacted and asked if our in depth stories could be used for a monologue in a play called “Blogologues”. Knowing that this play will be held in the heart of liberalism (NYC), we feel by allowing them to use our stories of uplifting Christianity, it might help inspire a few American hating New Yorkers to grow up and follow the path of God.

If you live in the area or will be in the area during the listed dates, please buy a ticket and be entertained by some lovely hipsters reenacting God’s word.

UPDATE: Click here to listen to their podcasts

We’re part of a six month series at UNDER St. Marks in which we perform new blogologues every month. The next rendition will only be on November 28th at 7:30 and 9:30 PM, but tickets are on sale now at smarttix.com for November as well as the rest of the series. Our December date is Friday the 30th and our January date is Monday the 30th, all at 7:30/9:30. Tickets are $15 including a beer. For more information visit our site: livelyproductions.org.

Blogologues™ brings your favorite blog posts to the stage– as well as other wacky online material that probably shouldn’t be read out loud. Conceived by Allison Goldberg and Jen Jamula, Blogologues gives voice to those texts from last night, what’s overheard in New York, and your missed connections. A hilarious romp through the interwebs.

    I am pleased that they will use our Fellowships good words, but the “Free Beer” with a ticket purchase seems wrong. Who wants a bunch of drunks in a theater?

    This is what tempts me to move back to New York. I miss the culture and even pc liberal thespians know where to find great writers and good material for their shows. Next time I’m out that way visiting family I hope to see one of their productions.
