With the new safety guidelines on all film production we could see a resurgence of interesting work in black box theatres. I could see famous, working and unknown actors working in small cast productions. Broadcast live, limited or no audience. Hopefully new and important voices will emerge. Small cast /crew semi isolated working on a new play would appeal to many.

I'm in the middle of directing a play I wrote - so I'm glad to hear peeps out there like you wanting to maybe see it 
Right on Kevin, glad to see you’re finding a way to create and keep us informed on how it’s going. And rsbush I figure it’s easier to isolate, test , protect a three person cast than a big , medium , indie film shoot. If the material is strong many actors will put up with reasonable inconveniences Limited pay to work on a project. Six weeks on a ranch in New Mexico or wherever working on a play would be a dream for many.

'There's a whole lot of "say and spray" happening on stage.' For sure. Who knows when they're gonna open the theaters. We've been mostly rehearsing on Zoom - a terrible way to rehearse - but you deal with what ya got.
Also intending to make a web series with the material we rehearse. Keeps a fella out of the pub.

You should try and see this. "Staged" Michael Sheen and David Tennant trying to rehearse a play over Zoom. Way funnier than I thought it would be. Really well done.
