AI Wrote This Play

Can a machine be a playwright? Let’s find out… together.

🗓 Thursday 31 July

🕕 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM

📍 Black Box Theatre, upstairs Community Arts Rooms, Western Plains Cultural Centre, Dubbo

🎟 Free (registration encouraged)

Join us for a one-of-a-kind event that blends live performance, audience participation, and big questions about creativity in the age of artificial intelligence.

In AI Wrote This Play, we’ll generate a short play in real time using ChatGPT — with the audience feeding in the key ingredients. Local actors will bring the script to life, and you’ll help us refine it on the spot for a second reading. In between, a panel of local artists and arts workers will discuss the impact of AI on creative practice: What does it mean for artists? Is AI a tool, a threat, or something else entirely? Can it ever replace human creativity — or just remix it?

Expect bold ideas, surprising twists, a few laughs, and a chance to contribute to a live experiment in art and technology.

No tech expertise needed — just curiosity.

Whether you’re an artist, a sceptic, or just here for the theatre, this event is for you.

Getting to the Black Box Theatre

The Black Box Theatre is located upstairs in the Community Arts Rooms at the Western Plains Cultural Centre. These rooms are in the old school building that runs alongside Gipps Street.

UNBOXED Creative Sessions are hosted by Studio 138 and made possible through the support of Dubbo Regional Council.
