NEW LIVE STREAMING SHOW “WHAT’S NEXT?” ASKS THE QUESTION,
WHAT’S NEXT WITH LIVE ENTERTAINMENT?
With live performance venues closed around the world, many artists are looking to the future by creating new material, adapting old material, and exploring artistic ways to utilize the digital landscape. Many others are trying to figure out just what’s next for live entertainment. "Is streaming theatre, actually theatre?" "What will happen when venues open?" "How will theatre find equal representation in their shows?"
"What’s Next?" aims to answer these questions. This new, interview style series is created and hosted by Matthew (Matt) Quinn - award winning Los Angeles producer, venue manager, and pioneer of “techno Improv” with Tilted Frame. Like many theatre-makers, Matt is making pivots in his artistic career to satisfy the continued need for entertainment. During the quarantine, he took solace in speaking with colleagues from around the world about the current and future challenges, realizing that others could benefit from the wide array of information he was discovering.
For each episode, Matthew will host pioneers and global theatre professionals to discuss what’s happening now and what’s next for venues, live streaming, and diversity in theatre. Each episode hopes to educate and enlighten artists and audiences looking to answer, "What’s Next?” In the first two episodes, Matthew explores the rise of online theater performance with the vanguard and forward thinkers of this exploding format. Is it the savior of live performance or its temporary fix?
All episodes will be live streamed and posted on
Youtube (Combined Artform) and Facebook (What's Next?)

(YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO) SHOOT THE DICTATOR. The dictator of Rimedoj is dead – rejoice! Well, maybe not. You see, shooting the dictator was not part of the plan, and now the four revolutionaries who jumped the gun have to figure their way out of a tough spot. The dictator is dead, but he’s supposed to give a speech soon… and his supporters are eagerly anticipating him outside. Add in a smattering of hidden agendas, betrayals, and vastly differing interpretations of the word “revolution”… it will take all of the wits they can muster to pull their coup off without murdering each other first.
