Directed by Jeffrey Mathews and performed by eight local actors, this play is the culmination of two years of work. In order to document the ways in which our lives were interrupted by the COVID pandemic, Louise interviewed 40 members of the local community, including healthcare workers, first responders, teachers, and more. These interviews, totaling over 50 hours and more than 800 pages of transcripts, form the basis of the script.
