So I am fully in support of making life theater something that you can consume from home. In today’s day and age it only makes sense to make it more accessible for audiences. One of the shows that they mentioned Clydes I saw in person last year and I can see how it could very easily translate to being shown Virtually. It’s almost benefiting the audience because they will have a clearer view of the stage and if the theater company is able to have multiple angles and has a pretty good crew running the cameras it will just make it a more immersive experience and so audience will be able to see Actor‘s reactions and it could almost be more moving because I can actually see what’s going on. For my first show back from Covid at my high school we did virtual tickets where if you bought a ticket we would send you a streaming link to the show for the night. We were lucky enough to have the film crew from my high school film Academy join us that night and they were able to Live switch camera angles so that it was just a very immersive experience for the audience. It did help that we gave them a heads up on when the more emotional moments would be in where they possibly would want to stand they also we did a trial run with the streaming Where we let the team work out some of the kinks that may have occurred during the actual performance.
