How To Protect Your Mental Health During COVID-19 with Dr. Bill Crawford
The coronavirus pandemic continues to alter the world as we know it... with no end in sight.
While the number of COVID-19 cases climbs exponentially, all non-essential businesses were forced to shut down. A record 6.65 million Americans filed first-time jobless claims.
And as for the future of the theatre industry… well, who knows.
According to the NY Post, Broadway is now considering staying dark until well into the summer. Producers are worried shows will not sustain the economic loss. The Tony Awards are postponed indefinitely. Regional theaters are cancelling the remainder of their seasons. With performance opportunities around the world now non-existent, nearly all actors are out of work.
