Connecticut Repertory Theatre Pivots to Livestream Shows Thanks to Donors
Even the pandemic couldn t keep the show from going on

When the pandemic suddenly brought the curtain down on UConn’s Connecticut Repertory Theatre (CRT) last spring, faculty and staff had to figure out how to pivot to virtual performances.
It was a pricey technological challenge. They had to buy laptops, software, monitors, green screens, microphones, and ring lights, and then ship it all to students so they could perform remotely from home.
Luckily, the theatre was able to tap into several UConn Foundation philanthropic funds – including the Hewitt Fund, the Nafe Katter fund, and the CRT Patrons Fund – to cover the $25,000 cost. Without the support of donors, this would be very difficult because of the significant loss of ticket revenue.
