Arts organizations around the world have been playing a guessing game: when is it safe to reopen? And if they do open their doors, how likely is it that Covid will force another shutdown?

Seattle Repertory Theatre Managing Director Jeffrey Herrmann has been trying to predict the future. His nonprofit theater company  reopened to live audiences in January 2022, and he's crossing his fingers that they'll be able to welcome patrons throughout the coming months.

Herrmann talks to co-host Marcie Sillman about the challenges he--and every other arts organization--faces as we approach Covid's 2-year anniversary.
