The latest challenge to theatre (and most performing arts) is the home theatre. Now it is possible to experience movies on a large, high-definition screen with surround sound without leaving the house. Discuss how this might impact the theatre. Will there be any reason to go out anymore? Does attending a play feel different than watching movies on a high-def screen?

What will be an ideal response?
