COSTA MESA, Calif.—Like most other summer events scheduled across Orange County, California, the Braver Players Theater Company was on the verge of canceling its latest show, a musical version of “Jekyll & Hyde.”
A theater group for children and teens based in Costa Mesa, Braver Players had been rehearsing for weeks when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the Attic Community Theater in Santa Ana, where they planned to stage the show, shut down indefinitely.
