December 2020 | *A Covid-19 production
Originally written for the stage, our production of the quirky piece Theatre:The Play was filmed and streamed for audiences at home. The set was designed to keep all nine cast members in their own spaces, six feet away from each other. Each actor had their own individual storage box and/or shelf that reflected their unique characters, inside which they kept their props.
