How Arizona Performance Arts Organizations Are Surviving The Coronavirus

The list of events that have been canceled or will be canceled because of our changing behaviors related to the coronavirus continues to get longer.

Local arts organizations like Arizona Opera and Ballet Arizona are among those being affected. Arizona Theatre Company announced its final two shows of the season have been canceled and will move to subsequent years.

We’re in a place where many arts groups are surviving and maybe even a bit better than that, but a struggle is seemingly always around the corner.

Longtime KJZZ and Phoenix New Times culture critic Robrt Pela joined The Show to talk about what ending a season early does to a theater company.
