Safer at Home

Last week, before Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti issued his emergency order, Darby decided that it would be best to return to Louisville and be with her family during the Covid-19 pandemic. By that time, her acting classes had already switched to online instruction, and many productions were shutting down to decrease the risk of contagion. The trip home was smooth; there were far fewer travelers in the airports and on the planes, and the flights that had not been cancelled were on schedule.

While in Louisville, Darby is still taking her acting classes via Skype and Zoom, although the difference in time zones means late nights twice a week. She is enjoying being with her family, and Gilligan loves being able to run around outside – something not possible for him in Los Angeles. In the meantime, Darby plans to practice her piano and archery skills.
