While the pandemic seems to have thwarted most live performances scheduled for last year, it’s refreshing to see some arts organizations emerging on the other side with their postponed productions across the High Plains. This weekend, Amarillo Opera will have three performances of the Michael Ching show, Remove Shoes Before Entering—a collection of vignettes spanning a scale of human emotion and touching on various challenges of living in our modern world. (And dont' worry: you can leave your shoes on.) This week, we talked to General & Artistic Director Mary Jane Johnson on High Plains Morning to hear more about it (and it seems she was also the Production Manager for this show!).
Rest assured that social distancing and masking will be required for each performance; the theatre is large, and there’s plenty of space to spread out.
