Virtual Theatre
Virtual Theatre are plays and scenes written specifically to be both rehearsed and performed online via a video conferencing platform such as Zoom or Google Meet. It is a new and exciting art form that is just beginning to evolve and reveal its potential. Just a short time ago, no one would have conceived of trying to perform a scene, let alone an entire play, with every actor isolated in their own home. And yet, it’s happening... with surprisingly positive results.Most of the plays here are designed for the characters to be communicating without face-to-face dialogue, yet still interacting with each other in real time. This unique quality creates the ideal scenario to perform them online. Many virtual plays also lend themselves well to be performed live with social distancing for everyone’s comfort and safety.
Virtual Theatre is far more than storytelling on camera, and there’s a world of acting still to be done to add depth and meaning to the words you’re speaking, even without a traditional stage.
