The Golden Record
"The Golden Record" pioneers Sci-Fi Virtual Theater
"The Golden Record," a new play by Micah Kosstrin-Greenberg, pioneers the use of virtual theater for science fiction. It brings a futuristic cosmic fantasy to life on Zoom using virtual backgrounds, digital makeup, audience participation and techniques of immersive theater. Unlike the Zoom readings and plays which have now become familiar, there is no fourth wall. The audience watches a drama of digital characters as if they are accompanying them through space. They also converse with the actors and guide the plot development interactively. The play's title is a reference to a NASA time capsule program, "The Golden Record," in which Voyagers 1 and 2--robotic interstellar probes--carry a twelve-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth
