You can check out their websites, and (except for Stratford) get on their email lists for announcements of coming broadcasts there: • National Theatre (London) -­‐ http://ntlive.nationaltheatre.org.uk/ (The main National Theatre website, http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/, also offers a huge amount of information about the productions if one is interested) • Globe Theatre (London) -­‐ http://onscreen.shakespearesglobe.com/ • Royal Shakespeare Company (Stratford-­‐upon-­‐Avon, UK) -­‐ http://onscreen.rsc.org.uk/ • Stratford Festival (Ontario, Canada) -­‐ https://www.stratfordfestival.ca/stratfordhd/Default.aspx It appears that: • Lighthouse is now carrying most, if not all, NT Live broadcasts, as well as some RSC broadcasts, • Del Monte has recently picked up the Stratford Festival broadcasts, and • Del Mar shows them all, including the Globe. (A number of the shows include 11 am Sunday broadcasts, making for a nice day in Santa Cruz if one can make the drive.) It’s sometimes challenging to get schedules well in advance from Lighthouse and Del Monte. You can often get earlier information from the “Find a venue/screening” function on the website of the theatre company doing the performance (e.g., National Theatre, RSC, etc.). For Del Monte, http://www.fathomevents.com/list-­‐all is also very useful to get advance warning of what’s coming. 6
