"With live online content,
we shared time, even when we don't share physical space."

Your audience knows what it takes to create work like you do. They will be happy to support you and grateful that you’ve given them the opportunity to do so easily without pushing them into a subscription that they may not want. With TheaterEngine you can sell individual tickets to your shows. Once a ticket has been purchased, your fans will get access to a secure page to view your video.
Film in advance, then let your fans know the date and time your film will “premiere.” Your video will be available for as long as you like, and only available to ticket buyers.
TheaterEngine supports traditional live-stream platforms like YouTube and Vimeo, and video conferencing software like ZOOM. Create showtimes to let your audience know exactly when you’re performing. Ticket buyers will receive a link to a secure page to view your video.
On platforms like YouTube or Facebook, it’s easy to get buried, and you’re sharing space with every kind of online creator that exists.
TheaterEngine is designed to showcase the work of live entertainers by location and by discipline.

“From Ohio it’s been refreshing to see so much. I’m watching far more readings, filmed shows, and clips than I hadn’t had access to previously. Even workshops from companies I love. It’s been awesome. I’ve paid for some, accessed most for free. It’s not as good as live, but the access! Living out here has really changed how I see live theater. Having these options especially right now has been so needed.”
“I personally find that my loyalty to organizations and artists that I know and love translates well to online content from them. I'm more interested in watching their content, than something from someone I don't have a relationship with, even if they're more "famous" or established.”
“I’m loving some of the stuff coming out. It’s like we finally were put in a room and forced to figure it out.”
“With live online content, we share time, even when we don't share physical space.”
“Having things become available in whatever format they arrive, has been so good for my soul. The creativity alone has been astounding. And to be able to see a show I might not get to see otherwise has been heartwarming in these days of isolation. Also, people from rural and/or low-income neighborhoods having the chance to do something that they would have difficulty doing due to whatever logistics are in their way, are now able to appreciate a love of the arts on an equal level.”
