Broadway may be dark and silent right now, but the theatre community isn't. After a successful first run, The 24 Hour Plays: Viral Monologues returned on March 24 with a fresh set of quarantine-inspired short plays and monologues.

The response to the quickly-adapted March 17 edition was so overwhelming that a sequel was immediately born.
