DESCRIPTION
Facing the limitations of lockdown these theatre artists found a way to produce their plays by changing the format and asking audience members to grab their headphones and tune in for curtain. Learn how these artists transformed stage works into thrilling aural experiences.
Jose SolĂs began his career as a cultural critic when he was 16 and launched a film review website while living in Honduras, where he was born and raised. He began writing about theatre while attending college in Costa Rica, and upon moving to NYC in 2012 focused entirely on the stage. His work appears in The New York Times, American Theatre, TDF Stages, Backstage, 3 Views, and America Magazine. In 2020 he was selected as the Floria Lasky Visiting Artist at Hunter College where he will host the Wed@One series, and started the BIPOC Critics Lab, a workshop he created meant to train the cultural critics of the future. He is also the co-creator and co-host of Token Theatre Friends, a weekly web series/podcast where he talks to some of the most influential theatre artists working today.
