The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles was in the midst of a busy spring season when the theater industry shut down last March. After having to cancel multiple productions in various stages of the process, the theater, led by artistic director Matt Shakman (
WandaVision), quickly pivoted to virtual performance.
Utilizing a now-beloved bad dad pun, the theater redubbed itself as the Geffen Stayhouse, and became a hub for interactive shows, performed over Zoom and other platforms, with subjects ranging from magic to murder-mystery to cooking. The Geffen has become one of the most consistently productive theater companies in the country during the pandemic, and even as the Geffen takes baby steps back to live performance, it has provided Shakman and his team with a valuable knowledge base that they can incorporate when the curtains rise again.
