Service in times of crisis, the show goes on. What/how have y'all been doing?

Hello all, 

Writing in from Austin where as you all probably saw SXSW was cancelled. Our two venues are the main venues for the SXSW film festival and luckily for us the cancellation isn't having that much of an impact directly. However, our presented/non-sxsw shows are still going on and we are experiencing varied waves of calls and concerns. We are trying hard to maintain distance from the paranoia, but I think it is important to acknowledge the realities and listen to those who may know more. Any thoughts or tips on what y'all have been doing? Thank you.

  • We’re talking about the same thing here. We have a workshop tonight that has seen 9 cancellations this week. Luckily, we have a similar event in May so we’re allowing free exchanges to that. Our April event is still on for now. It’s using a venue on a college campus that just announced students won’t be coming back for class, doing everything online until Apr 30. We’re waiting to get confirmation if they’ll still allow public events.
     
    It’s hard to find the balance between panic and avoidance.
