Non-Technical Difficulties: Unions Block Online Stream of Live Theater Performance
Technology in the Arts: "In 2006 Stephanie Riso, Operations Director of the Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theater (PICT), recognized the limitations that performance space imposed on ticket sales for her popular Cabaret Pittsburgh project. She considered ways to expand the audience of the musical revue without finding a new location or having to take the show on the road, and landed on the possibilites afforded by internet streaming."

This is truly unfortunate that AEA is refusing to even comment on this wonderful idea. Even if this particular streaming of live theatre content never makes it to the internet, at the very least a dialog could have opened up to even debate the idea, but by not making a decision they are halting all manner of progress for the future. I hope that PICT gains some momentum and will be able to go toe-to-toe with AEA on this for the rest of the season.
