Stageplays
The stageplays are subject to frequent takedown, so I encourage you to download them just in case. All of them have fanmade subtitles, except the behind the scenes videos. If the subtitles are in a separate file, you have to add them manually using something like VLC media player.
Link
There is a lot of extra content featuring the stage actors. You can find a lot of it on bilibili, and on the social medias (usually twitter) of the stage actors.
