Incorporating new media in the theatre has radically transformed how performances are created, performed, and witnessed. This paper examines the influence of new media technologies such as digital projection, virtual reality, augmented reality, live streaming, and social media on theatre's art, industry, and audience. It discusses how these technologies have stretched creative potential, opened access, and reconfigured the historic relationships between performers and spectators. Moreover, the essay touches on issues of authenticity and impermanence of live theatre in the age of digital technologies. Through examining case studies and available critical writing, this research contends that although the new media poses challenges to conventional theatrical standards, it enriches and reinvigorates the art form overall.
