Technical Difficulties 2.0: Plays from Pandemic Theatre
Crystal Skillman
Still Waiting
by Marc Palmieri
Synopsis
THE STORY: The pandemic lockdown is well into its second month.
Members of the church find themselves bitten by the “acting bug.”
With the help of a “professional director” from Manhattan, they hope to launch a community theatre at the church.
To their surprise, the bishop and church leadership found their Passion Play objectionable, and their plans are met with resistance.
They decide to put on a showcase of their skills, with an “updated” version of medieval Biblical plays, and find they win the support of an unexpected guest.
Press Reviews
"…a show that was specifically written to be performed remotely…The brainchild of playwright Marc Palmieri, [WAITING FOR THE HOST] just may be the first full-length work written for our new surreality."
— TDF Stages
"Call it a play within a play within a crisis…The play authentically flaunts all the glories and pitfalls of a typical online group session."
— The Star-Ledger (NJ)
"WAITING FOR THE HOST...allows a new work, a new approach to theater, a new approach to performing, a new approach to directing to take place and it is definitely entertaining. The play does not disappoint. It is real, raw, and brings some much-needed laughter; exactly what theater is supposed to do."
— BroadwayWorld
