| I agree and disagree with all of you. I agree with the sentiment that a taped performance is not a substitute for the live performance, and I'd also say that anything you watch on television is television. But I also think we spend too much time trying to fit square pegs in round holes and applying labels that are unnecessary. I want to be back in a theatre as much as anyone but I am not going to say that I have not thoroughly enjoyed taped or filmed shows during this pandemic. That said, I look forward to the time that I can revert to my unfaltering belief that taped or filmed stage shows are the devil's work. And let me add that I have cherished the best of the live (or nearly live) readings with which we have been graced over these last few months more than the filmed stage shows. | |

| I prefer a taped version than the stage readings. If you eliminate the one person shows (like Streisand and Bette Davis plays) and the few with married couple, the multi cast rarely work. It’s better than nothing—usually. There have been several that I just stopped watching and I know don’t watch ones of shows Ive seen already. And any physical interaction really shows the problems—fuddy meers and gov inspector. Tartuffe did a better job with “sets” and hiding under furniture. As ntlive. There have been a few of those plays which I clearly enjoyed in a wide movie seat With plenty of leg room and would have hated in a cramped theater seat. Hansard is a prime example of that. |

| A few more back and forths and you will have me sitting in your lap in a cramped theatre seat. And no, I have no idea what that means... |
