Getting materials together to try to promote these as a cabaret-style show - a snapshot of where we were March 2020 to March 2021

And put you in frame of mind to deal with reality more clearly.

AIMING TO DO THESE AS A CABARET-VENUE SHOW - 

Here are the video versions to give a feel for the material.  (This show could also be done as an audience sing-along for the parodies while showing the videos.)

Following the year from March 2020 (when theater closed) to March 2021, when there was finally real hope of theater returning (sparked by the Delacorte announcing its summer schedule).
