SKAM brings creative theatre to you with Pop-Up Theatre Home Delivery! Our Pop-Up theatre uses a flat-bed truck to transform the open-air into a stage, bringing shows to neighbourhoods all around the Greater Victoria Area.
Our Pop-Up shows are each around 15 minutes in length and feature evening storytelling suitable for all ages but may be more engaging for youth and adults. You can book a show for your household, birthday or block party, community event, youth centre or family night – we do it all!
Pop-Up Theatre Home Delivery has been featured in CHEK News, CTV, CBC, Times Colonist and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended donation amount?
Pop-Up Shows are free. We always welcome donations. Our donation suggestions are:
- $60 – what we think one show is worth
- $100 – if you want to cover the true production cost
- >$100 – if you want to pay it forward so someone else can see a show for free.
Cash donations are accepted (contactless) on site. You can always book for free, or for $20, invite friends and encourage them to bring donations.
What are the location and space requirements?
We currently serve Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, Saanich and View Royal – the five municipalities that contribute full shares to the CRD Arts Development Fund. If you live outside that boundary, please make us an offer.
The Pop-Up Truck needs a relatively flat space of 30 feet/two car lengths to park and with six metres between the audience and performers.
Will there be more pop-ups?
We do Pop-Up Home Delivery runs throughout the year. There is different programming depending on the time of the year. You can find out more about our past pop up shows here.
