"As Punch nears the end of its Broadway run, Manhattan Theatre Club will make James Graham's drama available to audiences nationwide during its final week via streaming. A captured live performance of Punch will be made available for streaming from Oct. 28 through Nov. 2, coinciding with the end of its limited engagement. After purchasing a ticket, buyers will receive a viewing link that allows them to watch the stream for 24 hours, starting at curtain time."
"During the pandemic shutdown, many believed that livestreaming and filmed stage productions would become an essential part of the theater ecosystem. However, that has not broadly materialized, largely due to the cost and complexity involved in securing rights and capturing live performances. Punch marks one of the few instances of a major Broadway nonprofit experimenting with streaming as an audience-access tool."
Manhattan Theatre Club will stream a captured live performance of Punch nationwide from Oct. 28 through Nov. 2, with tickets granting a 24-hour viewing window starting at curtain time. Punch, adapted from Jacob Dunne's memoir Right from Wrong, follows a young man whose impulsive act of violence changes his life and connects him with the parents of his victim. The production stars Will Harrison, Victoria Clark, and Sam Robards. The streaming experiment addresses access needs amid persistent rights, cost, and production complexities. All Out: Comedy About Ambition will begin performances Dec. 12 at the Nederlander Theatre with rotating celebrity readers.
