Today, a story about how creativity persists, even in a pandemic. Because like a river that snakes its way around rocks, creative juices don’t just stop flowing when hit with obstacles. Often, creativity just finds a way around things. When the coronavirus hit, Katie Harroff didn’t waste any time. Like, at all. While most people were still scrambling to figure out how to live their new lives in quarantine, Katie not only got right back to work for her day job, but she also did something kinda nuts. She relaunched her own theater company. This is the last episode of "The Pandemic Pivot" popup podcast.
