This is a big question, and one that many people are currently trying to answer:

How can we make and perform theatre from our current states of quarantine and extreme social distance?

I’ve seen and heard this topic explored all over the place, particularly over the past two weeks, as we all look forward into a summer likely to leave theaters across the country (and the world) with nothing but well-lit ghosts.

I’ve personally seen this question posed by:

• The Dramatists Live (hosted by Joey Stock, Amanda Green, and Christine Toy Johnson weekly)

• Lauren Gunderson on her Howlround TV show (excellent, by the way!)

• Ken Davenport in his blog

• Multiple Artistic Directors of professional theaters

• The heads of several University Theatre Departments

• Teaching Artist friends and colleagues

• And several quarantine-specific online creator groups

And if that’s just what I’ve seen - without specifically searching on this topic - I imagine that theatrical people everywhere are looking for these same answers.

So, what are people coming up with?
