Instead Of Canceling Its Next Production When COVID Hit, This Theater Completely Reimagined It

Aleshea Harris’s Is God Is was the last show of the season at the
Wilma Theater in Philadelphia, and when the shutdown came, there was still time to figure something out. “We then went through at least four different iterations of what the production could be,” said managing director Leigh Goldenberg, “so that we could still tell the story, share the art and employ the folks involved.” The key problem was that what most theaters were doing (reading plays on Zoom) would not work with this script. So the Wilma folks got a better idea. – NPR
