Lied Center Featured in the New York Times!
The February 24, 2021 edition of the New York Times featured an article titled "You're New Here, Aren't You? Digital Theater's Unexpected Upside." In it, reporter Michael Paulson looked at how arts organizations including New York's Public Theater, La Jolla Playhouse, L.A.'s Geffen Playhouse, Steppenwolf Theater Company, and more have used streaming technology to stay connected to their audiences and find new ones during the pandemic, and how they intend to keep using it once in-person performances are able to resume. Included in that article was the following quote:
That future has already arrived at the Lied Center for Performing Arts in Lincoln, Neb., where socially distanced performances returned in July. The center bought a five-camera system to broadcast work from its theater and has been using it since September. Its spring 2021 season — yes, it has a spring season — will feature Kelli O’Hara, the Silkroad Ensemble and mandolinist Chris Thile, all viewable either in person or online. -The New York Times, 2/24/21
