Richard II (2020, canceled due to Covid-19)
This production of Richard II, produced by Western Illinois University, was scheduled to open 27 March 2020. On 12 March 2020, WIU delayed the restarting of classes after spring break; on March 16, all classes were moved online through the beginning of April, and by March 20, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker had issued a stay-at-home order for the state through April 7. Our production was one week away from tech when this disruption occurred. Actors (comprised of undergraduate and graduate students at the University) were home on spring break; we had been rehearsing for 5 weeks, and had left for vacation off-book and after a successful designer run. We hoped to finish the show, albeit with less rehearsal time; then we hoped to film parts of the show; finally we tried to convert the production into a virtual, social-media based alternative. The final project is a digital archive that highlights the process and showcases the extensive work of the cast and artistic team.
