SINCE 2020

Zoom Theatre is live theatre for our times.  Using web based conferencing software, Zoom delivers fully staged live theatre to a live audience. Zoom is not a staged reading.  Zoom is not a webcast of a previously recorded performance.  Zoom is live every time. The shows are selected and staged specifically for webcam presentation. You'll see and hear every moment from the best seat in the house, and you are part of the event, just like in a real theater. 
 
Three components are core to Zoom Theatre: 

 

  • Every performance is live for a limited, pre-registered audience.
  • Shows are fully staged specifically for webcam presentation to take advantage of the strengths of the medium.
  • The audience can fully participate in the show by opening their mics. This brings you into the event so that the actors can hear you respond to their performance live, in real-time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Top 5 FAQ (Click here for more)

Will you will be able to hear me?
Details
Only if you want us to. We can not turn your mic on without your permission. At the start of the show, we will give instructions for how to signal if you want your mic on. You should only turn your mic on if you are in a quiet environment and can observe general theatre etiquette (no side talking, no eating). You should keep your mic off if you are in a noisey place or are unable to maintain a quiet environment for the length of the performance.

Can someone watch the show with me?
Details
Yes! Tickets are issued per device and while there is a maximum of 100 devices per performance (including cast and crew), you can invite as many people to watch that device with you as you like.

This is free?
Details
Yes! If you would like to make a donation to Zoom, at the end of the show we will share a link so that you can do so. A percentage of donations will go towards Artist Relief funds.

Is this a recording, or is it live?
Details
It's live!  Every Zoom Theatre show is performed live, with the actors (frequently in different locations) saying the words and living the stories as you watch them. Every performance is different, so come back more than once!

Is Zoom Theatre part of Zoom Video Communications?
Details
No! Zoom Theatre is a completely seperate and unaffiliated organization and has no connection to or with Zoom Video Communications, other than we use their software to broadcast our performances.

In July of 2020, New York Times critic Laura Collins-Hughes wrote an article entitled "Digital Theater Isn’t Theater. It’s a Way to Mourn Its Absence.” I must respectfully disagree.

Photos from the Zoom Theatre October 2020 production of COLLECTIVE RAGE by Jen Silverman! Directed by Jane Reagan, the cast of Meredith Ham, Oliva Dumaine, Tatiana Gil, Cortunay Minor, and Krystal Glover this “full-tilt lesbian / bi-curious / genderqueer / Shakespearean comedy for everyone,” followed five different people named Betty as they collide at the intersection of anger, sex, and the “Thea-Tah.” Performed entirely live and entirely on Zoom, none of the cast or crew were ever in the same location during rehearsal or performance.

Zoom Logo LRGDear Zoom Communications - Thanks for making such great apps! Being able to see and talk in real time with multiple people from all over the world is freakin' magic. At Zoom Theatre (no relation) we think your software is so fantastic that we started a live theatre company based on Zoom Webinar. We know that you wrote your software for business and not entertainment, but when you get a moment, would it be possible (pretty please), for you to add a few more features desperately needed by the live performing arts community?
