S2 E5 Nikkole Salter and Bianca Sams Talk About Alternate Access

Author: Broadway Podcast Network November 16, 2020 Duration: 37:50
The entire theater industry has found itself confronting a very specific access challenge this year. So many traditional boundaries have been broken. The fourth wall has been replaced with the Zoom screen, and the audience with a chat room. Christine chats with writers Nikkole Salter and Bianca Sams about how they’re thinking about work, audience, and opportunity - outside of the brick-and-mortar theater model with its traditional subscriber base.
