With the pandemic slowly receding we can begin to look back at the past year. "Blessings from the Pandemic" is a mosaic of poetic reflections exploring our journeys in response to the events of the pandemic: the big, the small, the humorous, the challenging, and even the inspiring. It is a candle in the darkness, shining its light on the blessings we enjoy in the little things of everyday life.

“A delightful, thought-provoking, and inspirational show that gave our audience great comfort.”

Fran Pesch

“Rich Orloff’s rich, heartfelt, and sometimes humorous reflections give voice to the full range of emotions and thoughts we are all experiencing, and like all good theatre, it touches our minds, hearts, and souls.”

“Rich Orloff’s refreshing, life-affirming BLESSINGS is a welcome antidote for what ails us.”

“BLESSINGS FROM THE PANDEMIC relates directly to what my students have felt over the past year, and it gives voice to the positives that can be derived from this moment in history.”
