Community Theater Plague?

 Covid is playing havoc with community theater productions throughout the local area. One theater has stripped its schedule down to the bare minimum, canceling two productions outright and moving the shows set for its smaller "black-box" venue to the main stage. Another cancelled its annual "murder mystery" dinner theater production. A third just had to cancel a performance of its current production when one of the actors tested positive and plans--for now--to add an extra performance next weekend.

The show I'm working on has had a few scares, mostly handled just by re-arranging who is called for specific rehearsals. We're all hoping things will be much quieter, Covid-wise, by the time our performances begin in late March.
