In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re working here at NiteLife Exchange to keep current, stay informed and be a resource for you, our dedicated readership. In that spirit, here is a letter from cabaret, piano bar and live entertainment advocate and stalwart, entrepreneur and NiteLife Exchange Publisher, Scott Barbarino:
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated” – Thomas Paine
It is with these words in mind that the Team at NiteLifeExchange will stay strong and move forward continuing our mission to disseminate information and promote the business of Cabaret, Broadway and Live Entertainment. We will be using our website and social media to keep you up to date. Watch for our Six Questions column as our Editor, Marilyn Lester, starts to gather the knowledge, thoughts and suggestions from a variety of people throughout the business as we face these very challenging times.
To stay relevant in a time when live performance isn’t possible, remember it’s vital for you who create art and perform to continue your professional lives as conditions dictate. Please consider purchasing a banner for your CDs and virtual performances as more of those are created due to the Crisis.
And speaking of the Crisis—again read those words above one more time…
