It’s interesting to think about. I love movie theaters but my local one is dead. In the case of live performance theater, I know many kids who are invested in online fandom culture around broadway shows that they can never afford to go see. Starkid’s shows go viral every release. Critical role is basically live theater with 3hr+ episodes that release every week and is watched by tons of young fans. The audience is there. It’s about reaching the audience.

I admire these online fandoms but I do find it sad that something like the theatre or even films struggle to really capture the nature of social media. They are always at a disadvantage when it comes to promoting their content.
