We hope this week’s Intermission Edition finds you and your family in good health. Isolation can be incredibly challenging, and we hope you are taking care of yourself. While this is not a time to feel the pressure of productivity, members of our staff have shared what they are doing to stay centered, connect with themselves, and remain calm during this difficult time. We hope some of these ideas spark a little joy while we all #stayathome.

We hope these recommendations bring you a little light and levity this
weekend. As we continue to work through this difficult time together, we’re
heartened by local efforts to support our frontline workers. Working with Providence St. Joseph Health, a group of costume and craft artisans from theaters across the
city have been sewing masks in Seattle Rep’s costume shop. This week alone,
they created over 2,050 masks. We applaud their work, which inspires us all to find ways to share our joy and our strength with each other.
