Rolling Stone: Paul Klimson, a veteran audio engineer who’s worked with artists like Justin Timberlake, the Roots, and Eric Clapton, was putting together a docket of upcoming shows across multiple venues last week. Then, suddenly, they were all axed in one go. A “text came through that wiped out $11,000 in gigs between now and at least April 8th,” Klimson tells Rolling Stone.

I think that this article was really moving to me in a lot of ways. Coming into theatre school in the middle of a pandemic, I was scared if I was making the right choice because I don’t have a good safety net to fall back on. The pandemic has really affected so many lives, and especially for those backstage, who are often forgotten and overworked, I was especially scared. However, near the end of the article, it tells a story of how responsive and empowering the community is. Despite falling on hard times, the community all had a singular voice of hope. Nobody seemed to think “Well, this is it”. Rather, all these people seemed to take temporary measures in order to stay afloat, and wait eagerly for the day that they can all come back to the stage. I love the passion for everyone involved in theatre, not only just the people who perform on the stage, but also the crew helping backstage, even though they are never seen.
