WATCH HERE

On Thursday, November 19 (3pm ET), BroadwayWorld will be opening dialogues that aren’t being seen or talked about anywhere else. With the process of opening up the country moving slowly and unassuredly, our theatre and performing arts community can only be hopeful as information slowly comes our way.

Television and film production has been able to begin (with strict rules in place) and pods coming into play. Theatre projects, however, have been very slow to materialize.

It was in a conversation between Nancy Carson and Richard Jay-Alexander that the topic arose of kids who were already cast in productions, who now are not going to be able to fulfill those dreams and, in some cases, may even outgrow the eventual possibility. It was decided that this would make for an informative first Town Hall, which would continue to take on topics no one else is covering.

Joining them are Max Bartos (Sing Street), Taven Blanke, Quinn Copeland (Waitress on tour), Emily Hoder (Les Miserables on tour), Noelle Hogan (Ladyship Off-Broadway, Fun Home on tour), Luke Mannikus (Trevor Off-Broadway, Matilda on Broadway and tour, Pippin and Priscilla Queen of the Desert on Broadway), Alyssa Marvin (Trevor Off-Broadway, School of Rock and Annie on tour), Tanner Quirk (Matilda on tour), Sam Poon (Sing Street, Macbeth, and The King and I on Broadway; Runaways Off-Broadway; Billy Elliot and Les Miserables on tour), Owen Tabaka (Love Life at NY City Center, A Christmas Story on tour), Brooklyn Shuck (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, The Ferryman, Tuck Everlasting, Les Miserables, Matilda, and Annie on Broadway), Kayla Teruel (Les Miserables and The King and I on tour), and Quinn Titcomb (Les Miserables, The Sound of Music, and Waitress on tour).
