HOW IT WORKS
Twitch! What the heck is it?!
Twitch is an online streaming platform that has been previously primarily used by video gamers. It will allow us to be performing live with you!
With me?
Your video won't appear on the screen or anything, but yeah! In this show YOU, the audience, will vote for which character is the hero and what choices all the characters make along the way. When it's time for a vote, the choices will appear on the video screen for you to select from!
Because of the nature of the platform, there is also an interactive chat. Open the chat by clicking the “Chat” button in the toolbar under the video (seen here to the right). This is one of the few shows you'll go to where the cast wants you to talk to your fellow audience members during the show! The actors will also be in the chat and may respond to messages. Feel free to chat about the story, the different voting choices - whatever you like!
Ok, so how do I get to the show? Is there a link?
There is! You don't need a specific link for your show, all you need is a link to the &Sons Theatre Twitch Channel, which you can find at the top of this page (the button that says "Link To Show"). The show will automatically appear on your screen when it starts - no password, app, or account needed. The link will also be emailed to everyone who purchases a ticket two hours before the time of the show they purchased tickets for.
Do I Have To Purchase a Ticket?
Nope! We can't password-protect the Twitch Channel's video, so anyone with the link can watch for free. For patrons who would like to offer monetary support to the actors, tech staff, and &Sons Theatre, there are several tiers of tickets available at the link above that come with extra perks - like getting a character re-named the name of your choice or a full version of the script with every potential outcome.
If you buy tickets, your purchase will go to the cast, tech team, and &Sons Theatre. As a very small, very new theatre company we don't yet have the funds to pay our actors a flat fee (or a stipend), so every ticket bought ensures that they will be paid closer to what they deserve.
What If I Don't Want To Buy a Ticket, But I Like the Show?
If you don't want to go through the process of buying a ticket, you can also tip the actors! Our tip jar is on Venmo @Lay Our Scene Tip Jar
If you want to see how the story might play out if the votes had gone differently, feel free to join us for another show! You can follow the same link to catch it again.
