Theatre’s On-Screen Persona

Cornerstone Theater’s Highland Park Is Here: Stories from a Changing Barrio

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 December 2021

Abstract

Highland Park Is Here, staged online and centering on community and community engagement, worked to build vital connections between participants and overcome the restrictions of Zoom boxes. The process revealed that when the integrity of a show’s theatre-ness is challenged by moving it online, the piece becomes a placeholder for the live event.
