Digital Season

Performance on Screen Video Tips

Our Performances on Screen are just like live theatre – anything can happen!

How to get the most out of the digital streaming experience:

• • Sync your Sound: Sometimes a low or spotty internet connection can cause synchronization problems with your sound during a livestream. If this happens, try refreshing your browser.
  • Watch on your SmartTV: If you have a SmartTV, Roku, Apple TV, or similar internet-connected device, you can watch this performance on your TV by downloading the National Theatre Network App on the iOS or Roku App Store; or go to athome.irishrep.org in your TV’s internet browser, or cast from your smartphone or computer. Please see here for more.
  • Need Captions? Closed captions are available for all Performances on Screen. Simply navigate to the “CC” button in the bottom of the video screen.
  • Try using Headphones: If your sound level is low, try listening with headphones.

How to get the most out of a digital screening:

• • Watch on your SmartTV:* If you have a SmartTV and would like to use it to view tonight’s premiere, or to view the video on-demand afterwards, you can find it by searching for Irish Repertory Theatre on your SmartTV’s YouTube app. It will be among our recently-added videos. We’ve made a detailed guide that may help you troubleshoot further: https://irishrep.org/how-to-watch-digital-events-on-your-smarttv/

*Please note that The Gifts You Gave to the Dark, Gregory Harrington: A Concert from the Irish Rep Stage, Beggar On Horseback / Beggar on Foot, and Plaguey Hill: A New Work by Paul Muldoon are public, on-demand video links, and therefore are easier to watch on a SmartTV than our private Performances on Screen (such as Belfast Blues, Give Me Your Hand, A Touch of the Poet, and On Beckett / In Screen).  You can find advice for accessing those events here: https://irishrep.org/how-to-watch-performance-on-screen-on-your-tv/
