University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten Five Years after the First Theatre Play Generated by GPT-2 : 7th International Conference on Creative\Media/Technologies (IConCMT), 2025 In 2021, we staged the first theatre play generated by a large language model with minimal human intervention. It was the first such project in the world, dealing with numerous then-open questions of integration of AI technology into theatrical practice. Five years later, we look back on the project, putting it into context of the situation back then as well as the development since then. We discuss various aspects of the process of generating the script, staging the play, and the reception of the play by the theatre professionals as well as the audiences.
