Love in Lockdown: a challenge at the best of times! This is theatre at its resilient best from the partnership of Barnstorm Theatre Company and Barn Owl Players in Kilkenny.
With all the restrictions keeping people isolated in our homes, local theatre is still happening behind closed doors, on radio and online.
In Kilkenny, the theatre community has risen to the challenge and explored how, where and when theatre shows can be presented.
Last November there was a call out to writers in the region to create new short plays for two characters - Love in Lockdown is the result and what a result! The producers are delighted with the talent and variety of the new works. Twenty writers submitted original scripts and 10 have been chosen to produce in two programmes.

The Barn Owl Players are leading the way when it comes to innovative solutions to the challenges facing the future of live performance in a pandemic.
In 2020 local theatre group Barn Owl Players in partnership with Barnstorm Theatre Company created and presented Zoom BOP: Confinement which produced a series of original monologues by artists in the region.
The partnership has gone a step further with a New Writing Project under the banner of Love in Lockdown which was launched in November last and produced 20 new plays, each for two actors.
UM Journalism Students Again Report Daily Legislative News
Each weekday morning KLYQ and KGVO provides a daily report from the 67th Montana Legislature in Helena. That report is shared by over 200 editors, publishers, newspapers and broadcasters in Montana. University of Montana Journalism students have been covering the sessions since 1993, according to UM Journalism Director Denise Dowling in a UM news release.
This year, James Bradley and Austin Amestoy are producing the reports, which are produced by the UM students Monday through Friday. They also have web reports and weekly print and web features and roundups. Amestoy is the print reporter and Bradley voices the 1-minute daily report. Dowling said, These students witness the inner workings of our lawmaking process and rely heavily on the seasoned journalists they work alongside at the Capitol to make sense of it all.
