This is a moderated discussion with the creator and director of Quaranteened, Cori Anne Laemmel, Artistic Director of The Theater Bug in Nashville, TN.
Director Statement: "Quaranteened was written and performed on lockdown - totally remote - from the homes of each young artist involved," says Theater Bug artistic director Cori Anne Laemmel. "Through Quaranteened, each actor, instructor and writer was reminded daily that while we are isolated, we are not alone. And the magic of theater is still alive. We are so excited to share this gift with the world."
