What Rigger?
I'm so fly....I Neverland.
So, what, it was "Beef & Boards" dinner theater that dropped their Equity status last month to do "Beehive", while wearing face shields, right? Out Indianapolis way. Now it looks like they got shut down again.
Then I saw this today:
Let's not forget Sturgis is happening right now, with 9 or 10 days of concerts in a row.
I rolled my eyes so hard, I detached a retina. I need a drink. And I might just rant, right about...now:
More idiot hobbyists, so sure that they can do what MLB, NBA, UFC, NCAA, et al... have not been able to do: Pull off a production and keep COVID at bay. Meanwhile, the overwhelmingly vast majority of the industry (and by that I mean the pros, the schools at all levels, the rental shops, the community organizations, all engaged with reality) sit at home freaking the #### out. And our return is delayed even longer.
I'm not even gonna give a qualified/reluctant "Look, I get it" with a heavy sigh about people gotta pay bills and playing live is the only way for someone like Quiet Riot. Because I'm past that. (Frankie Banali is undergoing pancreatic cancer treatment, so why Quiet Riot is at Sturgis is beyond me.) If you're so greedy, or stupid, or arrogant to be out doing gigs as if there wasn't a pandemic killing Americans at the rate of 1 every 80 seconds, I have no sympathy for you. #### every last one of them for endangering themselves and others.
A community organization has infected 16 of 32 people in the company (by my count on their Insta cast/crew/orchestra list)...and for what? "Mamma Mia"? In North Platte, Nebraska??? Are these people for real?
Here endeth the rant. (And for @dvsDave or @gafftaper or any other admins who want to pull this down, feel free. I'm not at all sure I didn't cross some line in posting this. But I'm over watching people scramble and suffer.)
Then I saw this today:
WCDHD reports 23 new cases of COVID-19, Playhouse says 24 in cast of 'Mamma Mia!' positive
“The most important message that we have for our community right now is to practice social distancing and wear face coverings. We will post new case information as soon as
