Social Distancing
Hey everyone!
How is your social distancing going? Hope everyone is healthy and getting by in this weird, rough time. Kae and toddler are officially homebound and I am considered an essential employee so I am still working 6 days a week. One thing that has helped with the stress and social isolation has been our network of friends on social media (a good number of whom we met through the show).
Instagram has been a lifesaver. Not only are we able to keep up with friends while sheltering at home but many of the lovely talent from the McKittrick are using the platform to do live performances. It’s wonderful to share the experience with all of our friends in live time chat and either connect to the outside world or forget the stress of a workday.
If you haven't hopped on over to Instagram to follow the talented performers of the McKittrick, we suggest doing it now. They are providing a lot of wonderful internet content. If you like what they are doing, remember that like many people they are also not earning a paycheck right now and contribute some money if you are able and they ask. Performers in NYC were some of the first people in the country to lose their livelihoods. Here are some of the awesome accounts we recommend:
@johnwilliamwatkinsmusic: JWW is performing music live on Saturday at 6:30 EST.
@agirlnamedmallory: Mallory has gone live the last 2 weeks to do a Follies-like show as Evelyn...from the closet.
@gingerkearns: Ginger has also gone live to let Kit out to play. The last Follies type performance featured Calloway and was utterly delightful.
@chelseyng: Chelsey is going live Friday night as Cordelia for Cordy’s Crisis Hotline. Looks to be a glittery good time.
@nickatkinsonofficial: Nick is doing a weekly installment called Nick Atkinson’s Bedtime Story. Every Sunday he is doing a dramatic reading of Rebecca chapter by chapter.
@breshort: Bre went live to perform original music earlier this week and we really hope it happens again!
@stephamoroso: Steph has also been singing some covers and playing piano live every week in what she dubs Quarantunes Live.
@jdocimo: Jeff is going to be sharing an original short film (Salzmann) also featuring Steph C. on Saturday night.
@dubinmagic: Gregory Dubin is a regular at the McKittrick Follies and does a variety show every night.
@movement_for_hope: This is a new group formed in response to the Coronavirus that offers a variety of free online classes from yoga to dance to movement to meditation. It features a lot of names familiar to fans including Annie Rigney, Lindsey Matheis, Isadora Wolfe, Taylor Drury, Kelly Todd, Marc Cardarelli, Ida Saki, Jason Cianciulli, Jenna Saccurato, Troy Ogilvie, and Ryan VanCompernolle.
