About Artists Envision the Future:
In the early days of social distancing, we sponsored a discussion with local artistic directors and Washington Post Chief Critic, Peter Marks grappling with what the new environment would mean for theatre. Thanks to popular demand, we’re sponsoring a new series of discussions that seek to capture the perspective of a wide range of artists locally and across the country. Each Saturday at 5:00 pm on our Facebook and YouTube pages, we’ll stream live discussions with artists in different parts of the industry and talk with some of the Olney-affiliated artists with productions slated for the 20-21 Season. You can participate live in the comments section. Remember to follow us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
