PLAYBILL VTF LIVE encourages theatre artists to think outside the black box and develop new forms of live theatre that can be experienced simultaneously with other audience members, regardless of physical location or proximity. Shows selected to participate will be performed in real time during the festival broadcast, and entrants are encouraged to create works that fully embrace and showcase the live aspect of their productions, as well as the value of shared events.
BROADWAY THEATRE STUDIO, creators of the long-running IMBIBLE series of Off-Broadway musicals, will produce the festival, which will be hosted by theatre media icon PLAYBILL and run exclusively on Playbill.com in August. BETERRIFIC, industry leaders in live-streaming productions, will provide the cutting-edge technology and experience necessary to successfully translate the live theatre experience to live-online.
