About the Quarantine PlayersWhen we started, there was no template for creating theater over the internet, which turned out to be perfect because we could remove all the obstacles that held us back.At the time, we didnt know what zoom was or how we could use it. Would people even know how to use it? How much would it cost? And what the heck is a virtual background? We had so many questions, but we watched all of our productions canceled in those horrible first days of Spring 2020. We didnt have to create a season of plays; we could choose any plays we wanted to do. It gave us a kind of freedom. We choose the plays, cast the roles, then we find an audience. We can create theater for a specific audience, for example, 25 -30-year-old parents in Des Moines, Iowa. We can do that.Join us every week for a new play.
