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

The evolution of theater accessibility has been remarkable, especially with the advent of digital streaming. Now, people who couldn't attend live performances due to geographical or physical limitations can experience Broadway from their homes.

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.

The pandemic changed the theater industry's appetite for releasing content via streaming, meeting audience expectations for accessibility.

Josh Gelb's 'Theater in Quarantine,' performed in a tiny East Village closet, exemplifies the innovative spirit that emerged during the pandemic. His resourceful approach to live streaming theater has pushed the boundaries of traditional stage performances.
