    <title>Video: Jim Parsons Calls TITANIQUE &apos;The Most Fun I&apos;ve Had Onstage&apos; on THE VIEW</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Jim Parsons is turning up the camp in Titanique, the musical comedy inspired by the film Titanic, soundtracked to the songs of Celine Dion. In the new Broadway production of the off-Broadway hit, Parsons plays the character of Rose&#39;s mother, Ruth.

&quot;It&#39;s the most fun I&#39;ve had onstage, ever,&quot; Parsons said of Titanique during a visit to The View on Friday. &quot;I&#39;d been dying to get back in drag... I wanted to feel what that felt again,&quot; he explained, after sharing a pivotal early acting experience where he appeared onstage in drag. &quot;There is a female strain in me. There is some aspect of me that feels womanly, and I love getting to express that in my own, whacked-out version.&quot;

    <title>South Korean Theaters Are Using AI Glasses to Break the Language Barrier</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Korean pop music, film and TV have already conquered the world. Now, a handful of theater producers in Seoul are asking whether live performance can be next - and they&#39;re betting on AI-powered smart glasses to get there.

The concept is straightforward: theatergoers put on a pair of chunky frames that display translated dialogue on the lenses in real time, synced to the action onstage. No more craning your neck toward a supertitle screen. The technology, built by Korean start-up Xpert Inc., currently supports four languages, and the company says full real-time translation is the eventual goal.

As first reported by The New York Times, a government-backed program called Smart Theater helped finance the rollout last year, and several producers have since continued funding the...]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Not long ago, I found myself doing that familiar pre-theater math: watching the clock at the end of the workday, checking train times, wondering if there was time to grab a quick dinner, and thinking, &ldquo;Can I actually make this curtain without it feeling rushed?&rdquo; It is a small thing, but it can make the difference between a great night out and a stressful one.

It is also not a question I am asking as someone who works in theater, but simply as someone trying to make a night out fit into a busy, everyday schedule.

That calculation is becoming more common. A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle explored how theaters across the country are experimenting with earlier...]]></description>
