ERIE, Pa. Art imitates life, right?
Penn State Behrend’s fall theater production, like much of the country at that time, was locked down: The cast gathered on Zoom, performing from individual rooms in the college’s Perry Hall.
“They made the most of it,” said Emily Cassano, assistant teaching professor of music, theater and visual arts, “but they never had an opportunity to fully bond as a group. They were always in different rooms.”
The spring production, which runs April 22-25, reflects the later stages of the pandemic. The performances will be outdoors, under tents on the Wilson parking lot. The cast will be together, but still distanced; audience members also will be separated, although those who purchased tickets as a group can sit together.
