Innovation & Digital Theatremaking introduces a blueprint for how to think differently about Theatre, how to respond creatively in uncertainty, and how to wield whatever resources are available to create new work in new ways.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a colossal impact on theatre across the world. At a time when even the wealthiest and best-supported theatre companies in the world ceased all operations and shuttered their stages, the theatre company The Show Must Go Online (TSMGO) forged its way into a new frontier: the highly accessible digital landscape of online performance. In this book, TSMGO creator Robert Myles and Valerie Clayman Pye explore the success of TSMGO from a practical standpoint, offering insights and strategies that can help theatremakers at every level respond proactively to the future of Theatre in the digital era. Each chapter addresses a different aspect of the creative process and concludes with take-homes so readers can learn how to innovate rapidly, undertake research and development in order to create their own models, and cultivate their own theatrical communities.

Written for theatremakers, directors, producers, and creatives of all levels of experience, this book will help readers to think critically and creatively about theatre and theatre pedagogues to understand how to train their students for the theatre of the future.

Reviews for Innovation & Digital Theatremaking: Rethinking Theatre with “The Show Must Go Online”

"""This is an essential book for anyone trying to create theatre in the current environment. It’s a book that opened my eyes not just to the unprecedented challenges faced by young theatre artists but to ways of addressing those challenges that aim not just to meet them but to turn them into provocations to make a new kind of theatre. New generations of theatre professionals will find it a sympathetic guide and a mine of invaluable advice."" Sir Nicholas Hytner, former Artistic Director of the National Theatre and Artistic Director of the Bridge Theatre, UK"
