Beyond Broadway, the Show Does Go On
（528字 精读 必做篇）
Watching through windshields. Audiences of two. An elbow bump instead of a kiss. Theaters across the country find novel ways to play in a pandemic.
Inside a former firehouse in Richmond, Va., a lone actor performs “The Picture of Dorian Gray” for audiences as small as two. In a Denver parking lot, theatergoers in cars watch, through their windshields, four performers costumed as grasshoppers. On a 600-acre property in Arkansas, a cast of about 130 re-enacts the story of Jesus for several hundred ticket-holders spread across a 4,000-seat outdoor amphitheater.
The coronavirus pandemic has shuttered Broadway through the end of the year (at least), and the nation's big regional theaters and major outdoor festivals have mostly pivoted to streaming. But even as infections surge in the United States, many theaters are finding ways to present live performances before live audiences.
Of course, there is social distancing. Also, in some places, masks. Temperature checks. Touchless ticketing. Intermissionless shows. And lots of disinfectant. At the Footlights Theater, in Falmouth, Maine, actors will perform behind plexiglass.
But these precautions mean there is dinner theater in Florida. Street theater in Chicago. Drive-in theater in Iowa.
“Our commitment is to do live theater — there's a huge difference between that and seeing something on a computer screen,” said Susan Claassen, managing artistic director of Invisible Theater in Tucson, Ariz., a state that has emerged as a Covid-19 hot spot. The theater, which has been running a four-character play called “Filming O'Keefe” indoors, installed an air ionizer, allowed patrons in only one-quarter of its seats, mandated that they wear masks, and put on a show.
“Our theater got its name from the invisible energy that flows between performers and the audience,” Claassen said. “Even with 22 people in the audience with masks on, that energy is so strong.”
There are also financial reasons for continuing: Some theaters say they cannot survive a year without revenue.
“We'd rather go down creating good theater than die the slow death behind our desks,” said Bryan Fonseca, the producing director of Fonseca Theater Company in Indianapolis. The company plans to stage “Hype Man,” a three-character play by Idris Goodwin, outdoors, for 65 mask-wearing patrons. “I am hopeful and also very cautious,” Fonseca said, “careful that I don't create a problem.”
By putting on shows, some theater artists are, in effect, making the case that it is a mistake for the industry to wait for New York to lead the way, given the risks there. “Someone has to be the first to take that cautious step into the dark to see what works and what doesn't,” said Phil Kenny, a sometime Broadway producer who has a role in “Willy Wonka” in Orem, Utah.
But even in New York City there are signs of theatrical life. Food for Thought Productions, a company that presents staged readings of one-act plays, is planning to restart in a private club on July 13, with Louise Lasser and Bob Dishy performing and attendees required to have taken coronavirus tests.
“If we can prove that we can do this safely, maybe other groups can do safe theater as well,” said Susan Charlotte, the founding artistic director.

Scientists Discover 7,000-year-old Tools Off Australia’s West Coast

Scientists say they have found Australia’s first underwater archeological areas off the country’s west coast.
The sites are believed to be 7,000 years old. The area where they were found was once dry land.
Archeologists say study of the hundreds of found objects will increase understanding of the culture and technological development of Australia’s aboriginal people.
The two ancient sites are now underwater in the Dampier Archipelago island group. Divers from Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia, made the discovery.
The area was already well known for its rich ancient history and its rock-art carvings. However, the two sites are the first confirmed underwater places holding evidence of human civilization in Australia and the area around it.
Michael O’Leary is a marine geoscientist and co-director of the project to study the tools. He told Reuters that his team wants to study “the skill, the technology, how they made these tools, to see if they represent a different cultural approach to tool making that we haven’t yet identified in Australia,”
Archeologist Jonathan Benjamin also leads the project. He said the scientists have found cutting and grinding tools that are thousands of years old.
“You can start to recreate what the people were doing and how they were making their life way in their economy,” Benjamin said.
Information from the discovery is being studied to find out how old the objects are. However, the radiocarbon dating method and study of sea-level changes show the areas are at least 7,000 years old.
Benjamin said the majority of objects remain on the seabed. The ones taken have been scanned for further research. They will then be given to the indigenous landowners, the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation.

精读 Beyond Broadway, the Show Does Go On
一 文章大意
冠状病毒流行期间，剧院开始通过其他方式来尝试现场表演，并希望通过各种防疫措施，证明他们现场剧院表演的安全性。
二 段落总结
- 剧院通过其他别出心裁的方式表演话剧。
- 疫情蔓延期间，仍有人使用替代办法来为观众表演。
- 尽管疫情迫使百老汇等剧院和一些户外活动在去年年底终止，很多剧院还是寻找各种防疫方式来实现现场表演。
- 社交安全距离，口罩，体温检查等等防疫措施也没有阻止表演者的热情。
- 现场剧场表演，与网络直播等方式，效果存在巨大不同。因此有些剧院还是展开“带着口罩，保持社交距离”的现场表演。
- 剧场人员认为，表演者和观众之间流动的无形能量使得他们强大。
- 当然，此类剧院表演继续下去还有财务上的原因：没有收入，他们将无法生存一年。
- 鉴于疫情传播的风险，行业等待纽约引领现场表演潮流是错误的。
- 即使在纽约，现场剧场表演的迹象也已经开始。他们会要求参与者进行冠状病毒测试。
- 创始艺术总监希望通过他们的尝试来证明现场剧院表演的安全性。
