Broadway News: Before the shutdown, Broadway was primed for its spring season.
Nik Walker had recently taken over as lead in “Ain’t Too Proud” and was getting into a groove with the role.
Nikki Renée Daniels had performed in nine preview performances of “Company” and was continuing to refine her character, Jenny, during rehearsals.

Although it may seem like the protesters are protesting for theatres to open up immediately, I do not think that is the case. It seems as if what these people want is a clear timeline for when they will be allowed to perform again so production companies can start planning, hiring, and rehearsing upcoming content. Clearly these actors, theatre workers, and students understand that it takes a lot of planning to put on just a singular production and they want to be able to start to plan with some certainty. They also seem to feel as if the government is ignoring their requests to open. All they seem to want is a little bit of attention and certainty for the coming months. Although I do want that as well, I feel as if we set a hard timeline for when venues should reopen, we may have a hard time actually accomplishing this goal and we will end up having to move this date around and make things even more complicated than they need to be.
