Introduction

CoronaVox : Stories from the Front

CoronaVox : Stories from the Front

CoronaVox: Stories from the Front

“Corona” –> the “halo” that appears under electron microscopic examination of the COVID-19 virus 

“Vox” –> Latin for “voice”

“CoronaVox” –> Phamaly’s original project highlighting the stories of diverse, real-life Coloradoans during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In the style of Phamaly’s past “Vox Phamalia” programs, CoronaVox: Stories from the Front will be a compilation of theatrical pieces created by Phamaly writers and actors, and based on fellow community members and their unique experiences during COVID-19, particularly “essential workers” who have been the unsung heroes of the pandemic: a health care worker, teacher, food preparer, caregiver, and more. In classic Phamaly fashion, the stories will come to life with vitality, respect, humor, and heart, demonstrating that even during the darkest of times, we can find light in human connection and storytelling.

CoronaVox was presented in virtual format in May, 2021.
