“In this incredibly difficult time for our 2nd Act Players, it is so amazing to be recognized for the online work we did this year,” says Frank, 2nd Act Players’ cofounder and creative director. “We moved heaven and earth to switch to online shows, the challenges for our actors was immense, I don’t know if people realize how difficult it is to act with a green screen behind you and no one else in the room with you.”
