Like thousands of other theater artists across the country, directors Sammi Cannold and Rebecca Aparicio were in the dark about how Broadway and the rest of their industry were going to get back onstage. So in their search for answers, they turned to other nations that have surpassed this country in engineering a return.
The result is The Comeback Project, a series of discussions beginning Thursday with theatermakers and others around the world who have been grappling with reopening performance spaces. To various degrees they have succeeded, partly because they have pursued national strategies in ways the United States has not.

A few days ago, Kylie Estreich went to a theater in Sydney to see a Broadway show. In person. With hundreds of other people. She showed her ticket, went to her seat, and sat elbow-to-elbow with her masked mother on one side and a masked stranger on the other for a matinee performance of the Disney stage version of Frozen.
