why can't i tivo off off broadway theater?
tonight i'm going to miss one of cally's plays for the first time in forever. i can time shift everything nowadays, from tv to radio, but i can't get theater performances when i want them.
blasphemy, but that's not theatRE, blah blah blah. in the same way that cally criticizes me for believing in community media, i criticize her for working in a quaint medium with fickle attendance. okay, i don't fully believe what i say to her, but it's only to illustrate a greater point: while community-produced media will find a sustaining audience once it moves away from mediums that demand that only the most popular survive, theater is bound to geographic-specifc meatspace which severely limits it's potential audience.
someone has to figure out how to pipe off-off-broadway theater online. if they can, something tells me that they'll thrive.
