Words are not enough.. You guys always made this rank
amateur, make it up as I go guy feel welcome here. I am fortunate in that
Theatre is only my avocation. I did have to sit with a room full of people and make the decision to shut down a show just short of production week.
So far in my own business, (veterinary) we have slogged along about 1/2 load..seeing the essentials, no electives, no clients in the building. The employees are being paid, but I have the honor
of being the owner.. lets just say.. I'm ok for now, but everyone else gets paid first.
And now realistically we are going to have no Summer season. A lot of community houses will not likely survive. Ours will because of a 70 year history
and leaders who ran the non profit like a true business, and now our rainy day is here. Our costume ladies working with supplies pulled from the shop, and their own supplies, working from home have
produced over 1000 masks for nurses, nursing home workers, first responders, police. We have about 6000 sq feet packed to the gills with costumes, fabric and supplies, and rent to a wide variety
of schools and theaters mostly in a 2 hour radius.. so we will take a hit there.. probably 100+ organizations wont be renting for a while.
