THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Constant and the rest of the staff at The Sharon
and The Studio had to find some new creative ways to
put on performances at a time when in-person shows
weren't possible.
Using the internet to livestream plays and performances
was one such creative method they came up
with, and Constant says that not only helped them
keep people employed, they also got to flex their creative
muscles a bit.
" We got really into the virtual stuff, " she explained.
" It gave us something to do, and it created a lot of jobs
and positions, and a lot of playwrights were featured
who would not have been featured otherwise. All of a
sudden I was now reading movie trailers, and the woman
who works backstage was all of a sudden acting in
them. The guy who was our company manager was
video editing because he had those skills, so everybody
sort of switched hats. "
The Studio presented " Elegies: A Song Cycle " in August.
The Villages Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the regular
performances at The Sharon during the season, also employed
a similar method to continue playing. The orchestra,
conducted by Maestro Pasquale Valerio, livestreamed concerts
during quarantine that residents and orchestra subscribers
could tune into and watch from home.
As things began to reopen, many of The Studio plays
from the previous season were moved to The Sharon's
stage in front of a limited audience since there was
more room to spread audiences out. It was a way to
benefit the cast and crews of both theaters while also
providing in-person entertainment once again.
Constant says now that The Sharon is planning to
reopen again at full capacity, she and the rest of the
crew are excited to switch hats again.
" Now we're putting those hats down, " she said.
" Thank you very much, COVID hat - now we're putting
our regular hats back on. "
Early in 2021, The Studio presented " 9 to 5 the Musical. "
