Assisted Living: The Musical®
Factoids and Notes
On March 13, 2020, we pulled up to the stage door of The Ritz, a restored theatre in Winter Haven, Florida. We were booked for a five-show run. It was already 90% sold and rushing towards a sell-out.
We banged on the door, and a woman opened it. She didn’t introduce herself, but gave us the once over and said, “Go get yourselves a coffee. There's a meeting going on now.”
We drank our coffee, knowing our run was being cancelled. It was, and we were soon to lose 91 more performances.
We spent our down time well: Zoom-meeting daily and producing more than 12-episodes of Living With the Virus with Naomi Lipschitz-Yamamoto-Murphy (still available on YouTube); redoing websites (such as this one); writing towards a new show…
It was a rough year. But we are happy to say we are back on the road. We are playing to full houses again and for that we are truly grateful!
It is so wonderful to hear the laughter of a live audience!
