With the coronavirus pandemic shuttering many theaters across the globe, Penn State Harrisburg’s School of Humanities kept the theatrical arts alive with the recent production of its fall play, “Machinal.” Performances were livestreamed from the Mukund S. Kulkarni Theatre on campus to audiences across the college and local community.
Mitra emphasized the importance of such efforts during the pandemic. “There’s a sense of normalcy there,” he said. “It gives students community and a collaboration that is unlike anything else."
The students involved in the production followed careful safety protocols, including regular hand-washing before rehearsals, temperature checks, and social distancing.
