In order to stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, rehearsals were conducted distanced and with masks, and then for the actual performance, each actor was filmed individually so they could perform without masks, and everything was edited together to make it appear as if they were all sharing the stage.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone and welcome back to Stage and Screen. I'm your host Katherine Stewart and today we have Part 2 of my interview with alum Jay Jurden. Jay is what you might call a triple threat, but of a slightly different sort. He's a comedian, actor, and writer whose first stand-up album, which was released last year, debuted on iTunes at number one. He's on the HBO show <i>High Maintenance</i> and his writing has appeared in <i>The New Yorker</i>, <i>Mcsweeney's Internet Tendency</i>, and <i>Teen Vogue</i>.</p><p>When we left off with Jay on the last episode, his career was just about to blow up. And by blow up I mean he was about to be offered in appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. In this episode, Jay talks about that, and it's a great story, and he shares his thoughts on comedy, fame, success and more. So stay tuned and we'll let Jay take it away.</p><p>Some links to Jay's work:</p><p>www.jayjurden.com</p><p><i>Tonight Show</i> appearance:</p><p>Writings:</p><p>https://www.newyorker.com/culture/2017-in-review/not-to-be-missed-shouts-of-2017</p><p>https://www.mcsweeneys.net/authors/jay-jurden</p><p>https://www.teenvogue.com/story/adam-rippon-winter-olympics-2018-hero</p><p>As ever: The Department of Theatre & Film is grateful for its patrons and corporate sponsors.
