During this time of need and uncertainty, Cory Pattak, New York City-based lighting designer and host of in 1: the podcast, turns to friends for comfort, gathering a slew of friends of the pod to come together for a Quarantine episode of the podcast. Joining Cory for a Friday night drink were Buist Bickley, Darron West, Caite Hevner, Beowulf Boritt, Jason Lyons, Jen Caprio, Jen Schriever, Jason Lyons, and Bradley King. Everyone shared how they are coping with the new normal caused by COVID-19 and how it’s taking its toll on everyone’s personal and professional lives. They chat about the work lost, the uncertainty of work in the future, and what it means for the theatre community at large. We hear from the parents of the group as to how they are working through this time with their young children. Beowulf tells us about making masks on his grandmother’s old sewing machine. Jason tells us how he’s working to continue the important education of his students. Bradley offers useful info on behalf of United Scenic Artists. And everyone shares what they are reading and watching to pass the time. There’s a lot of laughs and a lot of love in this group, and it’s just a small slice of what all designers are feeling these days. Enjoy listening in on the chat while staying HOME and staying safe!
