Nearly two years ago Agent White pitched the idea "Meet Anton Chekov" to Improv Everywhere. The plan was to set up a card table in Washington Square Park with a large sign that read "Meet Anton Chekov" and have someone sit behind it claiming to be said Russian playwright....decided to take Agent White's "Meet Anton Chekov" pitch one step further, and stage a reading by Chekov, pretending to be a part of the Barnes and Noble "Meet the Writers" series. After staking out several downtown Barnes and Noble locations, I chose Union Square as our target. The "Meet the Writers" area on the fourth floor was the perfect setting. It features a large stage with podium in front of a seating area with around 150 seats. Customers tend to sit in the area and read quietly when there is no presentation happening; we would have a captive audience.
