Episode 3: Zoom Readings, Drive-Ins, and Virutal Hybrids
It's almost been a year since the beginning of the pandemic. Since last March, millions of artists have been left unemployed. Theatres have had to become creative with producing works online, livestream, outside, or the ingenious (and infamous) Zoom Reading. Artists around the world are proving that even in a pandemic, theatre will still live on.
So in an age of digital advancement and social distancing rules that inhibit patrons from coming to the theatre, what has pandemic theatre proved to be? What does it look like? Why is it more important than ever to create art?
For today's TEA, Natalie, Mat, and Caroline talk with Ryan Chiu, creator and producer of Chiu's Haunted Drive-Thru, and Jesse Bosworth, co-founder and Executive producer of Streamlight Theatre Company, of which Caroline is Artistic Director.
Jesse Bosworth is a young theatre professional from Long Beach, California who fell in love with the theatre at the age of 4. He got his start working in small community theatres where he has done shows such as Old Black Magic (Olio Theatre Works), Somberton Senior Center Presents the Nutcracker (The Found Theatre) and Assassins (Long Beach Playhouse). He attended Cal State Long Beach where he earned his BA in Technical Theatre and Design and worked many of the student devised pieces in Theatre Threshold. He can usually be found behind the scenes at Knott’s Berry Farm making sure their main stage shows run without issue and is looking forward to coming back once this pandemic is over. In 2020, he recently founded and is Executive Director at Streamlight Theatre Company in Long Beach, CA.
Ryan Chiu is an Actor/Comedian with a B.A. in Theatre Performance from California State University, Long Beach. He has performed in hit plays such as She Kills Monsters and Woke: A Revolutionary Cabaret with the California Repertory Theatre. In 2020, Ryan Chiu is also executive producer and director of Chiu's Haunted Drive-Thru in Long Beach, a Halloween Drive-Thru Experience He is excited for his future being out of college and is itching to get back on stage once the pandemic is over.
