Sisterly Pivoting: Sister Act in the Pandemic

Pivoting is a word the whole world is annoyed by at this time, but it is a word we all need to get used to, along with change. The Arts world has had to pivot more than anyone else. They went from virtual play readings, virtual performances, to zoom/skype interviews, and to virtual festivals. Professor Holly Logue, the director of Kean Theatre Conservatory at Kean University, located in Union, NJ, had had to pivot many times, but not like this. She recently, with the help of an amazing staff, crew, and cast, had to rethink how to produce their production of “Sister Act.” What was originally supposed to be a concert of the music from “Sister Act,” she soon realized she had to find a way to do the show differently. As a streamer of the show (me), they did an amazing job from sets to costumes, lights, sounds, hair, and of course performance. Filmed in two days and streamed in three, the final product was worth the many problems faced privoding (pivoting and producing at the same time) this production. Professor Logue took some time to answer a few questions I had for her.
