Is This Socially-Distanced, Vertical Theater Design the Venue of the Future? - billboard.com

In August 2020, led by Stufish Entertainment Architects, a group of producers, creatives and technical specialists gathered to work towards a new design of venues that would allow concerts to resume during the global pandemic. Stufish had previously created live performance designs for artists such as Beyoncé, U2, Madonna, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Monty Python, and Queen + Adam Lambert, as well as permanent theaters in China.

"Creativity defines all the artists and partners we work with," said Stufish partner and entertainment architect Ric Lipson in a release. "At Stufish, we were excited to see what a new type of cross arts collaboration could produce, as we build a new vision for the future of live entertainment – The Vertical Theatre."

The Vertical Theatre is built to be constructed for different socially-distancing requirements and can hold between 1,200-2,400 fans. The venue will have the capability to include built-in global streaming capacity, as well as feature food and beverage facilities.

"We are devoted to the vital importance of arts and culture. We believe they are an essential part of human experience, of what makes us who we are," said The Vertical Theatre Group founders in a statement. "We are very excited to be able to bring this innovative new venue offering to the live entertainment world at this pivotal moment for the future of the arts."

The Vertical Theatre Group founders are Stufish Entertainment Architects represented by Lipson and Paul Preston; live events and documentary producer Holly Gilliam, theater producer Katy Lipson; production director Jake Berry and director and Digital Theatre founder Robert Delamere.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
