| Well (and bluntly, necessarily) said. We may look back at this post as the pragmatic POV ultimately embraced by everyone. Of course, we live in an era characterized by normalizing that which is not normal, so it shouldn't surprise us that some people want to pretend that because Broadway came back it can no longer behave with a sense of responsibility befitting changing circumstances. As protocols have been mutable, so must we all adapt to new economic circumstances, compromise in economic models. Leadership matters now, and I've learned much watching those who've stepped up to demonstrate even a modicum. In an industry wherein "no one knows anything," perhaps we know even less, thanks to this pandemic. That's a useful starting place in early 2020: acceptance. |
