With two shows running, one headed into previews, and another in rehearsal, the task suddenly switched from storytelling to safety and ensuring the health of our entire company. A task which persists as a top priority to this day. When we were certain we had done everything in our power to assist company members through this difficult time, including extended housing opportunities for stranded artists, and assistance in navigating the unemployment system for those employees that had to be furloughed or let go, we began to ask ourselves, ‘what will theater look like during this pandemic?’ The mandate to connect our community with stories and conversation was now both more important than ever and far more difficult.

“Bundled up as we were that Winter night, we each held that flame in our hearts and we sang silently to one another a healing vow to never let the light go out.” ‑Frank Galati 4
