Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
AS MENTIONED, OUR REGULAR SEASON OF STAGED PRODUCTIONS; HISTORY THEATRE PRESENTS CONCERTS; AND STATEWIDE PRESENTATIONS THROUGH HISTORY THEATRE ON TOUR WERE CANCELLED DUE TO COVID AND THE REGULATIONS FROM THE CDC ON HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD GATHER TOGETHER. HOWEVER, WE WERE ABLE TO QUICKLY SHIFT OUR PROGRAMMING UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF "HISTORY THEATRE AT HOME" WHEREBY AUDIENCES COULD STREAM SEVERAL HISTORY THEATRE CLASSICS INCLUDING "REZ ROAD 2000 AND "COCO'S DIARY". IN ADDITION, FOUR WORKS IN PROGRESS THAT WOULD HAVE USUALLY BEEN SEEN AS STAGED READINGS WERE OFFERED VIA ZOOM.
