LIPLO™ - the acronym for "Live and In Person and Live and Online" - was developed by PICT co-founder and operations director Stephanie Riso in conjunction with Alex Geis of 21 Productions. Between 2007 and 2008, they had great success using LIPLO™ to live stream cabaret entertainment. The change in PICT's plans for History Boys has come about because the company has been unable to secure permission from Actors' Equity Association and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists for the test run of LIPLO with a full production.
