The Blue Room Theatre may have gone dark, along with every other local arts producer, but the theater is still active. In the wake of the clampdown on public gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Blue Room has shifted to an online model for now. The theater is offering video content—footage from events at the venue, including comedy shows and a filmed version of Stuff-N-Things, the locally created musical comedy that had its March run postponed—to digital patrons who sign up for memberships via its Patreon page. Packages range from $5 to $15 per month and include everything from access to online content to passes to opening weekend guild parties for future performances.
