Zoom Theatre has started a GoFundMe campaign inspired by the famous line from Macbeth. Zoom Theatre has already produced four, free, fully staged productions for over 2,000 audience members. The funds raised through GoFundMe will help us continue to produce live theatre for the duration of the pandemic.

We want to share. After over a year online, with 11,000 hours on Zoom rehearsing and performing for 4,000 audience members, Zoom Theatre would like to share what we’ve learned about producing, staging and presenting eleven live shows and events during the pandemic. Learn from our success and mistakes! Watch these two free webinars and we'll share what we learned while creating one of the most successful live digital theatres in the world.
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.

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?
