Broadway On Demand has partnered with American Conservatory Theater, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company and Irish Repertory Theatre to create the National Theatre Network, a new digital platform created to allow major regional theatres to stream productions worldwide.
The enterprise will debut on Saturday, May 15 with a filmed adaptation of The Bushwick Starr’s Animal Wisdom, written by Heather Christian and co-presented by Woolly Mammoth and ACT. The performance was filmed at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington, D.C., with a cast including Sasha Brown, Eric Farber, B.E. Farrow and Maya Sharpe. The film is directed by Amber McGinnis, with Emilyn Kowaleski providing stage direction.
The platform will be capable of streaming both live and recorded performances, along with classes, galas, awards ceremonies and more. The goal is to allow theatres to exponentially increase their reach, while maintaining the professional standards that in-person patrons have come to expect.
