Audience members choose a sealed script written by an everyday person, and the actors perform it without knowing what comes next. When the pages run out, the scripts are discarded and improvisation takes over.

Humanity has reclaimed the stage and Dramatron, the AI behind the last four years of Plays By Bots, has finally been unplugged. PLAYS BY [BLANKS] is partly scripted, partly improvised, and entirely unpredictable.

The audience chooses from three new scripts written by everyday people rather than professional playwrights. The actors open the sealed pages on stage, perform without knowing what comes next, and improvise the rest when the script runs out.

The result is a different show every night filled with chaos, surprises, and laughs.
