Theater not cancelling shows?
“Hey guys, I’m supposed to fly out to start rehearsals for a show next week. As of now, the theater seems to have no intention of cancelling or postponing and that makes me wildly uncomfortable. I don’t know what to do—I don’t want to sever ties with this company, but continuing business as usual feels wrong. Help!!” —Tapperine
Coronavirus and cancelled auditions?
“Hey, would love to start a thread of auditions we know are being cancelled due to the virus. Post below the ones you know are confirmed of being cancelled!” —Laduca13
Theaters accepting video submissions?
“Figure maybe we can start a thread of any and all theaters/etc. that we know for a fact are now accepting online/video submissions in lieu of in-person auditions due to everything going on? :) Feel free to leave info for any that you know below!” —iamslofe
