Local Theater In A Global World

There are two questions that emerged at the end of the previous symposium. First: How will the increasing demands of globalization affect the future of theater (including but not limited to Theater in Philadelphia)? Second: How can theater respond to the emergence of digital media and the corresponding need for instantaneous interactivity? I will post two excerpts from Erika Fischer-Lichte's Theatre and Performance Studies, but please, if you find relevant material, post it.
