There are more than a few streaming services in the marketplace — far more than 200, in fact — but a service billing itself as the first streaming network dedicated to the world of theater is planning to debut in late summer.
Stage will launch in August with a free version before phasing in a subscription-based variant in October. It will feature original scripted, variety and reality series, live theater, documentaries, talk shows, concerts and Broadway shows, films and international stage productions.
