"We are thrilled to bring iconic performances from the world's
top arts organizations to a wide audience," says Bruce H. Lipnick, Founder. "What makes
STAGE ACCESS™ particularly unique is its growing list of direct
collaborations with arts organizations and our production of
content that aligns with their artistic vision. We aren't
simply licensing, taping and putting shows online; we created STAGE
ACCESS™ to ensure arts organizations receive the funding they need
by accessing new revenue streams. The STAGE ACCESS™ launch
was scheduled before the global pandemic and the crisis heightens
the importance of our mission."
"Nothing will or should replace live performance," says
Tripp Hornick, Managing
Director. "Streaming is critical to the arts ecosystem as it
brings content to people who are unable to attend due to a host of
access issues from cost to geography to health."
STAGE ACCESS™ offers a 7 Day Free Trial. Monthly
subscriptions are $7.99 with annual
subscriptions set at $69.99.
STAGE ACCESS™ Opening Week service is streamed on the
ViewLift platform, a leading end-to-end solutions partner,
creating, launching and monetizing video applications across
mobile, over-the-top, connected TV and game consoles.
"We are pleased to work with ViewLift; we selected them as a
technology collaborator due to their broad cross-platform expertise
and their commitment to expanding arts access," said Bruce H. Lipnick.
"The global pandemic and economic slow-down have struck every
sector, but few as severely as the arts community," noted
ViewLift's CEO Rick Allen. "STAGE
ACCESS™ is using the latest in technology to bring this vital
programming from the world's leading artists to fans hungry for
wonderful entertainment. We are proud to be a part of the STAGE
ACCESS™ Opening Week."
