Making Theater in These Times

It’s extra scary and unpredictable. It feels more risky and more rewarding. Despite having an outdoor show and fully outdoor rehearsals, we ended up missing two families due to covid during tech week. So we wiggled and adjusted (and cried for the people we missed) and we kept going. The way that the show goes on, but it’s fundamentally changed. Multiple young actors took on new lines during tech week, an alum came back to help us and I ended up taking on a full unexpected part. Despite all of this, and maybe because of all this, I am so proud of this show– the changes we made, the questions we pushed, and the ways we dreamed together. Congratulations to all the School Free Players.
