UK's Lessons for the US Theater Industry

Shaftesbury Avenue in London is seen on Saturday, March 21, 2020, at around the usual opening time for west end shows, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered theaters, pubs and restaurants closed

Jesse Green, co-chief theater critic at The New York Times, and Kristin Marting, founding artistic director of HERE Arts Center, join us to talk about the status of New York’s theater industry amidst the pandemic and the United Kingdom’s new $2 billion arts bailout. We also take calls from our listeners about how they’re coping in the theater industry.
