The weekly programming will be created by Geffen alums, running 5–15 minutes, and will continue being posted every Wednesday on Facebook and Instagram until the theatre company re-opens.

Since the shutdown, the playhouse has canceled its run of Anna Moench's Man of God and Theresa Rebeck's Bernhardt/Hamlet.
