Musical theatre showstopper! Pushing back against the pandemic after it put the brakes on performing arts
Pushing back against the pandemic after it put the brakes on performing arts
FOX 26's Damali Keith has the story that's positively Houston as performing arts are coming back.
HOUSTON - When the curtain came down last year on musical theatre, no one knew COVID would keep it from rising again for more than a year. In this Positively Houston, meet a couple of ladies who, even without an audience, have been working hard to ensure eventually the show will go on.
In musical theatre, a showstopper is usually a good thing but not this one. The pandemic, which no one is applauding, put the brakes on performing arts, but some who have a passion for it have pushed back in a big way. At Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS), for instance, there haven’t been any shows and many are longing to pack theatre seats post-pandemic.
