| Right, but we can have both. In the same way that a cast album does not replace live theater but preserves a record of it, a filmed/streamed theater piece does not replace live theater but preserves a record of it. And particularly as a teacher - but also as a fan - I'm grateful that I can watch and re-watch iconic productions and performances. And when we look at the environmental and practical costs of domestic and international travel, I'm grateful for any chance I can have to watch a production from the UK or the Netherlands or the West Coast from my living room in New York (with my 55 inch TV, but also sometimes on my laptop). Just like gender, this isn't a binary. |

| Dramedy was extolling the virtues of watching at home vs. theatre and sounded (I hope he comes to his senses :-) ) like he was happy with the current state of affairs. All I said in my post is that I am eager to get back in my cramped seat for live performances. In other threads in the past, I have argued that it should be binary, because I think this filming thing is a bad and unhealthy idea for the theatre in the long term. But that's not what this thread is about and I don't really want to hijack it to make it about that. LOL |

| I mean, the whole point of a message board is that it's a space for conversation, so I don't think a thread can really be highjacked by allowing it to lead to conversation. And whether or not you were hitting upon that in this specific thread, we know this to be your point of view, so that is present in what you write. In dramedy's case, I'm kind of okay with him not going back to the theater, lol, because the audience members that *I* can't stand are the ones who get annoyed at other audience members and make a fuss that is even more distracting. I can ignore someone's rustling with candy, but I have a harder time ignoring the person who keeps glaring at the person with candy. |

| I can ignore both. Meditation helps, although not recommended except during scene changes. :-) | |
