Musical theatre maven Ted Chapin hosts. Watch for free on WNET's website.

Mint Theater Company: Conflict
Off Broadway's esteemed Mint Theater Company, which has been unearthing forgotten plays since 1992, presents a recording of Miles Malleson's Conflict, a love triangle set in the roaring '20s, with one woman torn between two candidates for Parliament. Jenn Thompson helmed this 2018 production featuring Jeremy Beck, Henry Clarke, Graeme Malcolm, James Prendergast, Jessie Shelton, Jasmin Walker and Amelia White.

TheatreSquared: Miss You Like Hell
Arkansas' TheatreSquared is currently presenting an in-person production of Miss You Like Hell, but you can also watch a recording at home. Seen Off Broadway in 2018, this powerful musical by Quiara Alegría Hudes and Erin McKeown follows an undocumented Latina mother who reconnects with her estranged teenage daughter for a cross-country road trip that will determine their future. Chance encounters with eclectic characters along the way bring them closer to understanding what sets them apart, and what bonds them forever. A timely musical meditation on family. Tickets start at $25 and the recording is viewable until Sunday, July 17.

Gingold Theatrical Group: Mrs. Warren's Profession
Last chance! Last fall, master George Bernard Shaw interpreter David Staller directed a revival of the playwright's provocative 1893 comedy Mrs. Warren's Profession Off Broadway, and now you can watch a recording online. Controversial in its time, the show was banned in London for a decade and ran just one night on Broadway in 1905, resulting in obscenity charges! In an era when women had no legal rights and few job prospects, Mrs. Warren (Tony winner Karen Ziemba) has made a fortune and some powerful friends running an international string of high-class brothels. But she's kept her profession hidden from her daughter, Vivie, who's just graduated from university. When the truth is revealed, it rocks both their worlds and their relationships. Tony nominee Robert Cuccioli costars as Mrs. Warren's lecherous business partner. Tickets are $27 and the recording is viewable until Sunday.

Disney+: Trevor the Musical
This musicalization of Celeste Lecesne's Oscar-winning short of the same name ran Off Broadway last fall, and now you can watch a recording on Disney+. The moving story of a theatrical 13-year-old boy grappling with his sexual orientation in 1981, Trevor the Musical is written by Dan Collins and Julianne Wick Davis, who previously adapted another landmark LGBTQ movie for the stage: Southern Comfort. Talented 13-year-old newcomer Holden William Hagelberger from Sugarland, Texas stars as the title character, a Diana Ross-obsessed middle schooler who goes through some really tough times before learning how to love himself. Disney+ subscribers can watch for free.
