To our loving community and supporters --
We as MD Virtual Ensemble have made the disheartening decision to postpone the rest of our 2022 season with the exception of the 2022 Playground One-Act Festival and the rest of the "Chaotic Storytelling" monologues and scenes that have been written by Alyssa Hannam. We have also decided to put the MD Virtual Ensemble Production Group on pause until further notice. This decision was difficult but needed to preserve our time, energy, and passion towards making accessible theatre. This ensemble found its stride amidst the COVID19 pandemic, and we made the decision to continue producing shows and building community until we could enjoy Theatre within the Theatre again, and that time has come where everyone can enjoy a production while vaccinated and boosted. We have done phenomenal work since September 2020, and the artists that have aided in our 15 productions have become our family, support, and connection to the community we once knew. With our lens being virtual and experimental theatre, we know that like all theatre productions, it is only temporary-- yet that remains the most beautiful and important aspect. The MDVE team is continuing their own personal journeys, pathways, and artistic passions. We have made this decision to be proud of the work we all have done during this time. We also wanted to give special thanks to: OnTheStage and AnyWhereSeat for hosting our productions and giving us a home, Patreon for supporting us consistently, our donors who believed in the company, the over 45 artists that have worked with MDVE over the past 2 years, and the amazing people who have watched every production we have done. We wanted to give special recognition to both Evelyn Benitez and Emily Dunn who were slated to direct the shows that have been postponed with this decision, and we encourage you to follow them on their journeys. There is magic in what we did, and that is all that matters in the end. We hope that you join us for the Playground One Act Festival on February 26th-27th and on YouTube for the rest of Alyssa Hannam's works. Best, The MD Virtual Ensemble Team Matt Denney Ryan Corrigan Daniela Munafo Morgan Moessinger
