With theaters being dark since the COVID-19 pandemic started one year ago, find out what they did in 2020 and what they have planned for 2021. Panelists are: George Brant (i.e., “Grounded” at Dobama Theatre) Eric Coble (i.e., “The Velocity of Autumn” at The Beck Center for the Arts). and Lisa Langford (i.e., “Rastus and Hattie” at Cleveland Public Theatre).
