WNYC: The Evolution of Live Theater During the Pandemic
WNYC: The Evolution of Live Theater During the Pandemic. “This month, a new production of ‘Godspell’ is being staged outdoors by the Berkshire Theater Group in Western Massachusetts, making it one of the first union approved theatrical productions since March. And although the performance might sound normal, for audience members going to the show in-person, there are plenty of reminders that we’re still in a pandemic. Cast members wear masks when passing each other on stage and sing behind vinyl partitions. And seats for different groups of attendees are spaced out by at least six feet.”
