Lenox â The Boston University Tanglewood Institute campus on West Street (Route 183) will be closed for the second consecutive summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

When comedian and actor Maria DeCotis watched New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s April 19, 2020 coronavirus press briefing, she knew she was witnessing the perfect fodder for her next routine. After discussing hospitalizations, nursing homes, and testing, Cuomo switched from covering the state’s COVID-19 response to talking about his daughter Mariah’s boyfriend, who would be joining the governor’s family for dinner later that night. “He went on this long tangent. It was so mesmerizing. He just kept going and going, and I was like, ‘When is he going to stop?’” says DeCotis (CFA’15). “He said, ‘I like the boyfriend,’ so many times, and I thought, ‘There is no way he likes the boyfriend.’”
