American Stage will host live pop up performances outside The Factory in the Warehouse Arts District of St. Petersburg, and performances are set to begin this May. 

American Stage hasn’t hosted an in=person performance since the Spring of 2020. That’s all about to change.

American Stage plans to return to in-person performances with Pop-Up! Performances: “Uncaged,” presented at The Factory St. Pete’s outdoor venue, May 14-16 at 7pm. The production will be a fun evening of songs, scenes and sketch comedy.

“Entertainers will perform a set of comedic vignettes that celebrate the art of laughter,” according to a release.

The show goes on

ix returning American Stage actors will bring the performance to life, along with writers and American Stage Improv veterans Ricky Wayne and Gavin Hawk.

“This evening will be a fun and fancy free chance to be with friends and enjoy some entertainment created by American Stage performers. This group promises to serve up a healthy dose of laughter and smiles.” Associate Artistic Director Kristin Clippard said.

The company is implementing a number of health and safety guidelines to ensure the wellbeing of audience members, staff and artists. These include socially-distanced seating, requiring the wearing of masks, cashless transactions and touchless entry. Patrons can read the full details of American Stage’s current safety requirements online.

“In-person entertainment has been a long time coming and the safety of all involved has been one of our top priorities. There has been a lot of learning and preparation for this moment, and our partnership with The Factory St. Pete allows for an ideal place to get back to live entertainment in an outdoor setting.” Clippard said.
