HowWeWorkNow Directing In 2020: Pandemic Edition

Recorded on August 4, 2020

How the American Theatre returns is a burning question in debate across the nation. We are joined by an esteemed virologist, Dr. Matthew Frieman, PhD, to discuss his work on a COVID-19 vaccine. Ali Skye Bennet, Artistic Producer leads an important discussion with Dr. Frieman and our current directing fellows (Cristina Angeles, Signe V. Harriday, Taylor Haven Holt, Cait Robinson, and Emma Rosa Went). What happens next is a glimpse into the future of the work we all need to do to ensure we come back safe and strong.

HOWWEWORKNOW, The Drama League’s acclaimed series of discussions that shape, distill, and share best practices about how the industry and craft of directing allies with active change on the ground. The artists in this video have donated their time and fees to help provide much-needed aid, relief, and programs for stage directors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
