By Nicholas Berger: “As theaters across the world close their doors indefinitely and we adjust to a new normal in the wake of the coronavirus, there has been a concerted effort on the part of theatre artists everywhere to keep making. Now more than ever — a phrase adored by the theatre community — it seems desperately important not to let this virus slow our production of art. Whatever content we are able to muster, we must get it out there! Dive through the archives! What do we have? Put it online! That grainy back-of-the-theater single camera recording of that play from 2006? People need it! Quality? I hardly know her. This is a pandemic, we need Quantity! The people need monologues! In fact, it is the theatre artists, we are told, whose work will heal us. I am here to say I don’t think that’s true, and I think that’s okay. At least for now.”
