Our 2020 scheduled performances, from our Jim Henson Foundation Grant awarded Marooned! A Space Comedy at Baltimore Theatre Project to our Off-Broadway debut of BAROCOCO with Happenstance Theater in New York City, were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. ​We adapted to virtual performances and filmmaking, especially  investing our creative energy and resources in our Patreon page and our YouTube channel.
