Live theater returned to Bloomington at The Hundredth Hill, a 40-acre nonprofit artist retreat on North Fish Road, owned by singer-songwriter Krista Detor and husband, music producer David Weber.
Detor and Weber, who reside on the property, invited nine graduates of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts to isolate at The Hundredth Hill’s Emerging Theatre Artist Residency for 2 1/2 months, where they wrote and rehearsed two original plays. Among the graduates was Detor’s niece Kyndall Sillanpaa, who was unable to direct her senior show in New York because of COVID-19.
