Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, GOOD THEATER WAS CLOSED DUE TO COVID. THE COMPANY DID PRODUCE A CONCERT FOR STREAMING. THE CONCERT WAS TAPED OVER A SERIES OF DAYS IN THE THEATER SPACE WITH NO AUDIENCE. THIS FREE CONCERT RECEIVED MORE THAN 1,000 VIEWS WITH MANY OF THE INDIVIDUAL NUMBERS RECEIVING HUNDREDS MORE VIEWS. BY LATE SPRING THE COMPANY DETERMINED THERE WOULD BE A SEASON STARTING IN THE FALL. SHOWS WERE SELECTED, STAFF WAS HIRED, ACTORS WERE CAST. THE SEASON BEGAN IN OCTOBER WITH THE WORLD PREMIERE OF JANE AUSTEN'S LADY SUSAN. THE PLAYWRIGHT WAS IN RESIDENCE. THE SHOW RECEIVED RAVE REVIEWS AND WAS PUBLISHED BY SAMUEL FRENCH WITH OUR PRODUCTION LISTED AS THE PREMIERE PRODUCTION. THE PLAY WAS VIDEOTAPED AND AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME FOR STREAMING, BEHIND A PAYWALL, WHICH PROVED TO BE DISAPPOINTING WITH ONLY 100 HOUSEHOLDS VIEWING THE PLAY. FOLLOWING JANE AUSTEN'S LADY SUSAN, THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL BROADWAY AT GOOD THEATER EVENT WAS A TRIBUTE TO THE BROADWAY OF THE 1990S. TWO GUEST STARS JOINED A CAST OF A DOZEN LOCAL PERFORMERS FOR SIX CONCERTS. THIS EVENT WAS TAPED AND AVAILABLE FOR FREE STREAMING. IMMEDIATELY AFTER BROADWAY AT GOOD THEATER, A REVIVAL OF WHO'S HOLIDAY OPENED FOR A SPLIT WEEK ENGAGEMENT PERFORMING FOR TWO WEEKS, THEN TAKING A COUPLE WEEKS OFF WHILE OTHER EVENTS HAPPENED IN THE SPACE, RETURNING FOR CHRISTMAS WEEK AND NEW YEAR'S WEEK. THIS SHOW WAS TAPED FOR STREAMING AND BEHIND A PAYWALL. THE NUMBER OF VIEWS WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING, EVEN LESS THAN LADY SUSAN. ATTENDANCE WAS LOWER THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS, AS PATRONS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO RETURN TO REGULAR THEATER ATTENDANCE. THERE WERE NO OUTBREAKS OF COVID AMONG THOSE AT THE THEATER AND NO PERFORMANCES WERE CANCELED BECAUSE OF COVID.
