ARTICLE: Ford's Theatre Affected by goverment shutdown

[Maribeth]

In DC right now- Ford's Theatre's production of The Laramie Project is cancelling performances due to their performance space being shut down (as a National Park Service site). They did a performance in the rehearsal room of a nearby theatre (Woolly Mammoth) and are presenting 2 free performances at a nearby church. A terrible situation but interesting to see how they adapted to relocating to other performance spaces.

One of their PA's is a good friend of mine. She posted some fabulous pictures on facebook of the crew rolling wardrobe racks and shopping carts full of props down 7th.
