Forced to isolate, the Contemporary American Theatre Festival created a virtual gala on Facebook to announce their new season (including THE HOUSE OF THE NEGRO INSANE). Big up to the amazing actor David Toney, who bravely performed an excerpt from THOTNI into his phone. These are uncertain days, and despite the distance (all participants were in different locations) it was a welcome shot of hope to watch all these folks who are so committed to bringing theatre to the people.
CATF Artistic Director Ed Herendeen closed with these words: “We’re going to keep you posted. I will not give up hope that we do the festival this season, and if things don’t work out that way… you will see all six of these plays later… whether that means 2020 or 2021.”
