Dear students,
I’m the co-founder and editor in chief of the new California Sunday Magazine (online at californiasunday.com and in print, delivered with Sunday editions of the Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle and by mail to subscribers) and the live show Pop-Up Magazine. I’d love to see you Thursday night (11/17) when Pop-Up Magazine comes to Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre.
We’re offering a very special invitation this week, for a limited time: free tickets for Columbia journalism students.
To claim your pair of tickets, fill out this form.
If you’re not yet familiar with the show, media people have said nice things about us: “A sensation” – New York Times | “Beautiful” – Los Angeles Times | “Highbrow/Brilliant” – New York Magazine | “Go!” – Jad Abumrad
Pop-Up Magazine is a live magazine. Prominent and emerging writers, radio producers, photographers, and filmmakers perform new, mostly reported multimedia stories — sound, film, animation, photography, illustration, all mixed together — with live scores performed onstage by musicians. Followed by drinks after with audience and cast all together. We just performed a few days ago for a packed house at the 1600-seat Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles (with a long standing ovation at the end) and a few weeks earlier we performed another live magazine show, a music special, at the 5500-seat Greek Theatre in Berkeley.

Our New York show features a ton of interesting people, like Ira Glass (creator and host of This American Life), Jessica Hopper (editorial director for music at MTV), Joshuah Bearman (writer for Wired, Rolling Stone, Harper’s, etc; he wrote the story that inspired Argo, and his most recent story is being adapted by the Coen Brothers), Mychal Denzel Smith (2016 New York Times bestselling author), Stephanie Foo (This American Life producer), Lam Thuy Vo (visual journalist, coder, and fellow at BuzzFeed’s Open Lab), and more.
If you come to the show and see me after, please say hello.
Doug McGray
