Earlier this year, local out actor Jaysen Wright was looking at a full season. Poised to play in five upcoming productions, he anticipated “a lot of work — a good problem to have.” Then COVID-19 closed theaters and everything changed.
When quarantining began, Wright was preparing for “The Till Trilogy” at Mosaic Theater. With no clear idea of how things might shake out, the production switched to virtual rehearsals. “We did online read throughs, script analysis and character work,” he says.
