SUMMER HOURS IN EFFECT
This year, in place of its regular pause for
Scheduled Maintenance, the Telelibrary is observing "Summer Hours"
​​
While our catalog is being updated and our archives maintained, Telelibrary sessions will be released at lower frequency and through special invitations to enormously patient Users at the very top of the Waitlist, Users who have opted in for cancellation notifications, and to those on the Reschedule Protocol, in addition to Patreon Subscribers.
​
​
If you are already on the Waitlist, you'll be the first to know when regular postings return. If you're not on the Waitlist, your attention is directed to the large "Join The Waitlist" button located a brief scroll below these words, with predictable results.

The Telelibrary gets called out in many conversations on remote performance: Listen to Kathryn Yu talk with the Knight Foundation's Discovery program about how performers are experimenting with remote performances and what is being learned about performance in the time of telepresence. Or see the Telelibrary in No Proscenium's Critic's Picks for 2020, Unforgettable Moments that defined the year, and December and May Writers Roundtables on what is working and what isn't in the age of virtual performance (spoiler: it's working).
You can also read a full review (with minimal spoilers) from No Proscenium here,
and the Telelibrary Feature (with more serious spoilers) in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Finally, you can hear from creator Yannick Trapman-O'Brien in a feature on "How Immersive Performers Are Adapting" or in discussion with Noah Nelson on the No Proscenium Podcast
