In March of 2020 Broadway theaters closed their doors. Artists and performers were forced to adapt to an entirely new way of connecting with audiences. All in the midst of a global pandemic.

Epicenter NYC publisher Mitra Kalita talks to award winning actor April Matthis about how she coped with the changes brought on by COVID-19 and what she thinks the future of theater in New York City looks like. 

 

Also, novelist, screenwriter, and TV show runner, Eric Garcia on a year without live performances.
