Theatre Prof Steve Kaliski ™07 and student directors embraced the challenge of creating in the time of COVID with a socially-distanced production titled œUbi Orta Pestilentia: A 91ÇÑ×Ó Zombie Apocalypse.
In this virtual roundtable discussion, student directors reflect on their contributions to a production conceived of and created in extraordinary circumstances.
œThe plague is here. I repeat, the plague is here. We™re heading to the rendezvous point. In front of Chambers. We™re on our way, but it™s dark, and we™re so far away, and we have to move slowly, or they™ll see us. Wait for us, please. Please wait. Everything is different now, all of a sudden, it™s so different. It wasn™t supposed to happen so fast, not to us.
