Why Do You Go to the Theatre?
10-3-15
It's been a while since we've done an audience response article. I thought it would be interesting to find out why you go to the theatre. Do you go for entertainment; to learn something new, for the cheap wine in the lobby? There are so many reasons why an audience member goes to explore their cultural side and I'm interested know about why our readers do.
There has been a recent fad, especially in the UK, of streaming live performances into people's homes. We call it digital theatre. You can get great performances from the Globe and the National Theatre of Wales on Radio 3. Thousands of school kids in the UK got to see great shows for free. Currently you can catch digital opera at Palace IFC. Do you think the idea of digital theatre will stop people from going to live theatrical events?
I'd love to get some dialogue going in the comment section on this topic. Do you think providing digital streaming of quality theatre events for free will kill the regional theatre?
