In March 2020, COVID-19 made its grand entrance onto the scene, and that became the cue for live community theater to exit stage left.
Programs for the rest of the year were canceled, and theatergoers were left to in-home, virtual performances that, meh, donât quite scratch the itch for everyone.
âTo be quite frank, I donât believe in virtual events,â said John Rich, director of the Regional Theatre of the Palouse, based in Pullman.
âUnless you do them really professionally and with multiple cameras, I find they donât really capture the show. I find people tune in, and then they tune out. I know people across the country are doing it, and Iâve gone to a few. But by the end thereâs just a handful (of people watching),â Rich said.
