We started our streaming and video series The Next Stage in the dark days of April 2020, featuring performances and discussions with actors, musicians and other artists.
These days, with the theater reopened (thankfully!), The Next Stage has become a series of Zoom talkbacks that complement our mainstage shows.
We love hanging out with our directors, actors, designers and other artists online and getting the scoop on making theater!
Missed a Zoom talkback? Or want to watch the performances, discussions and classes we streamed during the Covid shutdown? No problem: we archive recordings of all our broadcasts. Watch each video via City Lights’ YouTube in the windows below.
