TNM: “the show must go on” despite Covid
A show called Projet Polytechnique at the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde was cancelled Tuesday evening because one of the performers tested positive with Covid. But it will be shown tonight and till the end of the run with the sick actress on stage.

After 3 years and 8 months of successful avoiding infection I finally lost the Avoiding Covid game on Sunday. I wasn’t informed that the rules have changed and that the current variants of the virus are incapable of crossing the fourth wall.
Despite me feeling much better now, my tests are still positive so I just stay inside and play for an audience of 1.

Is it too late to pool some money together and get Chris a front row seat?

That’s more than a little over the top.

That the show must go, on or offering our favourite “covid is over” armchair Minster of Health a night out?

I spent my whole life assuming that there are tons of understudies walking around just waiting for their big break. Guess not!

I’ll take a free ticket, sure! My most recent vaccination was just a few weeks ago too so it’s especially good timing.
Joey, yeah, that would have been a good question for the journalist to ask. Seems better than cancelling a show people may have scheduled around. Presumably at this point the actor is well enough though.
Ian, covid is not over, it never will be. That’s the point.

Let’s make a list of things that will never be “over” and yet we spend lots of time and energy trying to prevent: car accidents, cancer, obesity, gun violence… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHW1y-FpyII
