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
