The Show Must Go On — Even If There Is Only 1 Audience Member

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Even during a pandemic, some say the show must go on. But is it still a performance with no live audience?

The theater is accepting applications and says it will select each evening's lucky spectator by drawing, although the winner will have to submit to a doctor's exam.
