Portraits of the Pandemic: Recent Episodes
Northern Stage
"With all our shows canceled, and everything going virtual, an idea began to take shape. I wanted to provide a lifeline for these teens in our theater community – give them a reason to take meaningful time to reflect through journaling. I reached out to all the students who had recently acted with Northern Stage. Thirty-four brave young actors signed on for this odyssey - opening a window into their unique quarantine perspectives. These are their Portraits of the Pandemic."- Eric Love, Director of Education at Northern Stage

"My mom had a doctor's appointment a few days ago, and soon after her appointment, her doctor tested positive for the coronavirus. That meant she had to go into quarantine. Since my dad is asthmatic we had to put plastic wrap up dividing two sections of the house and completely seperate her from the rest of us. My dad now has to take care of me, my sister, and my mom because she can't leave her area."- Emmett Smyth
