Gamer, actor Tasi Alabastro helps theaters use Twitch to adapt to coronavirus era and beyond

Datebook: Tasi Alabastro was “currently on the finger mikes,” he told audiences at an April 24 performance of “Tell Tale Hearts.” “I guess that’s the keyboard, huh,” he joked.

Bay Area Theatre Cypher’s show, a blend of hip-hop and theater led by performers Dan Wolf, Phil Wong and Carlos Aguirre, a.k.a. Infinite, has already had two runs at Aurora Theatre Company. But under shelter-in-place orders, Cypher migrated online to Facebook Live and Twitch, thanks to Alabastro’s help.
