New York City’s theater industry remains closed because of COVID-19, but many theater workers are finding ways to earn money. Some Broadway performers now offer dance or musical training online. Other workers design jewelry or make toys. Still others sell skincare products. These occupations may not command pay equal to that of their old theater jobs. But Broadway’s many now-unemployed workers say any earnings are helpful.
