The assumption that people wouldn't attend live theater if they could watch it on VHS, DVD, or streaming has been proven wrong. The big story that changed this perception was 'Hamilton.'

During the pandemic, Britain's National Theatre became a beacon of innovation by streaming performances online, allowing global audiences to experience theater from home.

Theaters have embraced technology to make performances more inclusive. Innovations like audio descriptions and captioning have opened up the world of theater to audiences with disabilities, ensuring everyone can enjoy the magic of live performances.

During the pandemic, many actors participated in streaming theater productions for free, driven by a desire to work and create despite the limitations. This period saw experiments that rivaled live stage productions in quality, redefining what theater could be.

One of the most exciting developments in theater is the ability to stream live performances globally. This not only democratizes access to the arts but also allows for a broader cultural exchange, as people from different backgrounds can experience diverse stories and perspectives.

During the pandemic, anyone in the world could create something theatrical in a limited format and have it seen, making it a vibrant time for theater.
