Here are some ways you still get That Sydney Theatre Feeling (THREAD)
1. Didn't see @zoecoombsmarr's Bossy Bottom live at, say, Giant Dwarf? Well, that venue is closed forever now (GD will hopefully still move to another one after all this?) but you can watch the special on Amazon Prime (get a free trial then cancel it, I did), it's excellent.
2. NOT into recursive fisting jokes? That's disappointing, but you can go super highbrow with @OperaAustralia's OA|TV and watch La Traviata on the Harbour (remember how that was cancelled? devastating) and a bunch of other stuff https://tv.opera.org.au/
3. But you like indie theatre, right? Of course you do, you're awesome. Guess what's on youtube for a limited time? NOSFERATU: A FRACTURED SYMPHONY, an anticapitalist vampiric devised work by @Montague_Bsmnt and staged at #old505theatre
4. Looking for music? Same. @Belvoir is going live in concert this weekend and @virginia_gay is hosting. Expect Calamity Jane. Expect Fangirls. Expect music theatre and theatre feelings from Belvoir's greatest hits. Expect to cry? I know I will. https://belvoir.com.au/events/belvoir-in-concert/
5. Looking for storytelling? Queerstories, the best story performance night hosted by @maevemarsden, is available in podcast form. You could start with this one I've chosen at random, oh weird, it's the one I did with @neutze https://podtail.com/en/podcast/queerstories/42-ben-neutze-cassie-tongue-a-platonic-partnership/
6. Looking for the classics? @BellShakespeare has opened up its education archives to give you access to its recent productions. We've got Macbeth. We've got R&J. We've got The Tempest. We've got Henry IV and Merchant of Venice and Othello. https://www.bellshakespeare.com.au/whats-on/educations/national-broadcasts/
7. Looking for a bite out of the mainstage? @SydneyTheatreCo has gone virtual, with readings by Hugo Weaving, Shari Sebbens, Mia Wasikowska, Tim Minchin, Heather Mitchell, Charles Wu, Kate Mulvany.. and MORE. No, for real, though. https://www.sydneytheatre.com.au/stc-virtual
8. How about @griffintheatre, our home of new Australian work? Tomorrow they're streaming an encore of Roshelle Fong's Thirsty. Interactive theatre on youtube! https://bit.ly/ThirstyGriffinTheatreCompany
9. Want a sneak peek of something new? @ensemblesydney gave us a lil snippet of @MelanieTait's A Broadcast Coup, which didn't get to open this year, and now I want it even more.
10. Didn't get to see @sixthemusical on tour, cause it was cancelled? Or just because it sold out in Sydney? The worldwide casts did a little video for you, featuring the Australian cast, of course (who are incredible)
11. Miss dance? Me too. Luckily, @SydOperaHouse has made @BangarraDance's beautiful Terrain available on demand https://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/digital/season/dance/bangarra-terrain.html
12. Miss TAP dance, and theatre-forward dance cabaret? The Tap Pack are on demand too @SydOperaHouse! https://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/digital/season/cabaret/the-tap-pack-live.html
