It's been our observation that when the pandemic first struck, Facebook (for example) was filled with theater people determined to perform - sing, read, be part of something, anything, theatrical that was being put together virtually.  They made videos, posted posts, and cried out their frustration in pertinent and often hilarious memes.

In the grim months since our last newsletter, many we know have hunkered down for the long haul.  There's been more sharing about the small things - a beautiful sunset, a kitten adorably asleep, a past poignant memory, a current invigorating hike.  COVID is testing us all, but if it's done nothing else, it seems it's helped us cherish the present moment like nothing else.  And yes, there's still the occasional "Gosh, I miss theater" post.  We all miss it, terribly.  But when theater returns, let's hope it's to a world more thoughtful, more caring, more grounded in the now than ever before.

We hope you are all safe and well and finding special moments during this historic time!
