WILMINGTON A local theater collective has gone from the stage to the big screen in making sure its members continue connecting and creating during Covid-19. Theatre for All encourages the passion of performance artists with disabilities, and over the course of the year has made seven original films from writing the screenplays to acting in them.
Its latest, “Diamond in the Rough,” will screen as part of Cucalorus Curbside Cinema come March 19 (originally, it was slated for Feb. 12 but has been rescheduled from rain). The short film is also available to screen now on the company’s YouTube channel.
