DC Theater Arts: Storytelling has been around for thousands of years. The art form can serve many purposes — conveying history, teaching a lesson, entertaining — and is thought to have co-evolved with language, likely as the driving force to satisfy the human need for interaction and connection. So it comes as no surprise that storytelling exists today in expansive forms of varied media and formats. But the simple form of a single person crafting a tale for a group of people, using only their words and bodies to convey their message, is beautifully intimate.

I really appreciate the messages that are being sent with this show, but it's so saddening that it's going to be lost to streaming services. Being realistic we all saw what happened to the movie theater industry once streaming movies became a thing. If we give up other forms of art to these services we aren't going to survive. Theres already so much wrong with these services and continuing to support them like this isn't helping the situation. We should be keeping things on our own platforms that we control. I really hope that as a nation we start a push to start owning things again, instead of subscribing to them. We can own them instead, and I think this applies to people putting their shows and art on these services. The second you do that, they basically own it. Which is so flawed in so many ways it prevents you from doing what you want with it, and I think it's preventing people from growing as artists, and making people lose jobs.
