SHOW UP KIDS at QED Astoria, created by Peter Michael Marino, directed by Michole Biancosino, at QED Astoria, photo by MikiodoListen in as creator Peter Michael Marino & performer Denisse Estefany Mendoza of SHOW UP, KIDS! discuss awful auditions and why they often don’t matter, working out your show over time, building fairy tales from scratch, how to work with new & inexperienced (very young) improvisers, using what’s given to you by the audience, bringing them back into the show, funny chickens and evil farmers and bad penguin driving, and the sensibilities of New York City kids.

“You just have to say ‘yes, and,’ even to their ‘nos’…you just have to keep going…even the nos can be really funny!”

“It’s always a gift!”
