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. "While audiences remain unable to come to the theatre, Playbill is determined to bring theatre to audiences," says Alex Birsh, Playbill's Vice President and Chief Digital Officer. "This exciting new festival is a perfect fit for our new digital programing, and we're eager to see what you come up with!" 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.
