Taping Or Filming A Stage Production
Forty years ago, it was next to impossible to tape or film a stage production on Broadway or Off-Broadway in New York City. The various unions hadn't crystallized their demands, but for the most part, they didn't want to see it done. The feeling was that any taping of a play would shorten the run. If a person could buy a video and see the play in their living room or turn on the television or go to movie theatre and see it for a small part of what the stage production would cost, why should anyone pay so much to see the play on stage?
But it was inevitable that arrangements would be made so that stage productions could be taped and filmed for archival purposes, for teaching purposes and for commercial presentations in other media. It was also inevitable that there would be a price to pay for this. Of course, the unions that must be dealt with to make a film or video recording will depend upon the venue; Off-Broadway has a lot less unions involved than a Broadway production. Another consideration is the purpose for which the taping is being done.
