Editor's note: If you had to pick one word to describe the world of theater in 2020, that word might be âpivot.â
With a few local exceptions, Lancaster County theaters closed in March and have not reopened since. Many have found ways to connect with audiences online, through virtual performances â live or recorded.
This year, at least the early months of it, may find theaters continuing to pivot, as they adjust to whatever restrictions â indoor closings, reduced audience capacity, masking and social distancing requirements and more â the government and infectious-disease specialists may suggest or impose.
So theater companies are building flexibility into the 2021 season schedules they're announcing.
