For many, the start of a new year brings renewed hope for change. This year is no different, especially with news of a vaccine signaling the beginning of the end of the pandemic. But even with a vaccine rollout, theatergoers ready to see local performers hit the stage will have to hold on a little longer.
At a recent conference for performing arts professionals, Dr. Anthony Fauci shared that we may be able to head back to theaters in the fall when the population reaches a certain level of herd immunity if all goes according to plan. But even when we gather together, Fauci said that we might be wearing masks for some time.
