Former stage managers find a new stage directing COVID-19 vaccinations
Bloomington, Minn. (FOX 9) - When stages went dark across the world last year due to the pandemic, theater artists were forced to evolve. For a trio of stage managers here in the Twin Cities, they found work managing a completely different kind of show.
Tim Markus was stage managing a production of "Kinky Boots" when the pandemic curtain came crashing down.
"In theater it's our work, it's our life, it's our extended family. And it was all kind of taken away," Markus said. "So it was adjusting sort of not just working all the time, but mentally, 'What am I going to do with my life?'"
