Corey Payette - Thought #8 - Need it be Live?

It's January 17th and this is my eighth thought. I think that I'm a bit afraid of my thought today because I think its unpopular but I'm just going to ask it as a question instead. Why would it be so bad for people to record theatre performances? What makes theatre any different than a concert, a live concert where people are filming the whole show of music and lighting and set and everything. What is different about theatre? Other than the fact that it distracts the performers, yes. But that's just cultural, we can change, we can make that a part of our culture that we film theatre so that it can be shared. And that it can hopefully inspire more people to see it. Wait, that was supposed to be a question.
