Documented collaborators

Pop-Up Magazine was founded in 2009 in San Francisco by Douglas McGray, Lauren Smith, Derek Fagerstrom, Evan Ratliff, and Maili Holiman. Known as a ‘live magazine,’ the show blends writers, filmmakers, photographers, radio producers, illustrators, and musicians for onstage storytelling paired with live visuals and a score by Magik*Magik Orchestra. While the company announced a farewell in 2023 with a final Bay Area performance on April 30, 2023 at Paramount Theatre in Oakland, the Pop-Up Magazine storytelling legacy continues to inspire fans and artists across cities.
