The coronavirus pandemic has meant the second career change in four months for a local hair stylist. Lisa Chan-Wylie opened East Side Quick Cuts on East Main Street last October and is now looking for someone to take over the business. Chan-Wylie opened the small hair cuttery after her previous work as a hair stylist for Broadway shows and other theater productions across the country ended when all the shows closed.

Norwich native Christopher Faison was busy acting in the national tour of the acclaimed “Hello, Dolly!” revival in March when the tour came to a halt because of the pandemic.
The show was in Buffalo, N.Y., with two performances down and six more to go. And the entire tour was just two weeks short of wrapping.
“I was really looking forward to the last weekend because I was scheduled to go on as Cornelius,” says Faison, who understudied that role in addition to being in the ensemble. “That was going to be a really cool way for me to go out, to close the show to go on for the lead.”
