The whole Actors Ensemble of Berkeley family is immensely proud of the success of "The Imaginary Invalid On YOUR Screen" zoom production. It was a triumph technically, dramatically, and comically. All credit goes to the creative team of Meryn MacDougall (Director/Adapter) and Kaitlin Weinstein (Stage Manager and BRAINS BEHIND IT ALL), for their dogged pursuit and fantastic execution of what turned out to be such a wondrous vision.
