Auditorium Theater. Joffrey Ballet completed a run of Anna Karenina the night before, so the sprung deck is still on the stage.

While theatres are shut, it’s good to remember just how resilient theatre is. I was inspired and comforted by these articles. Thank you.

I read drama at Hull University in the 70s. I spent eight years as a Community Arts worker in Tower Hamlets, and doing occasional tech jobs, then I taught in East London and participated in shed-loads of community theatre till I retired in 2016. I'm currently reading for an MA in 'Theatre' at the University of Surrey (Guildford School of Acting). Now I go to shows. Lots of shows. And write about them.
