COVID-19 knocked actors off the Broadway stage. But are the lights dim forever? -NBC News

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

My artifact is a news article found on the NBC News website.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

The news article is about the impacts the coronavirus pandemic had on Broadway and how it affected the people related to Broadway, the article also emphasizes the fact that the pandemic may have changed Broadway forever. This is important to me because when I was younger, my family and I used to go see shows every time we were in New York City, it was always a magical experience for me and my brother. This isn’t one of the most common ‘tragic outcomes’ of the pandemic, so I wanted to share the devastating losses that Broadway and the theatre community is experiencing due to the pandemic.
