*)New Zealand reports no new Covid-19 cases New Zealand has recorded no new cases of the coronavirus for the first time since March 16. Last week the Pacific nation ended a strict lockdown that helped contain the outbreak. The death toll remains 20 while the number of infected people stands at 1,487, 86 percent of them now recovered. *)Pompeo backs Trump on virus coming from China lab US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is backing his boss’s claims that the Covid-19 virus originated in a lab in China’s Wuhan. But their claims contradict the US intelligence community’s findings – that there is no evidence the virus was man made or genetically modified. The Wuhan claims come amid reports President Donald Trump ignored warnings in January from top US spy agencies that Covid-19 could become a global pandemic. *)Venezuela foils attack by boat on main port city Venezuela says it foiled an attempt by a group of armed men to invade the country by boat on Sunday. Authorities say eight of the attackers have been killed. Two attackers have been arrested and are being interrogated. Socialist party chief Diosdado Cabello says the attack was carried out by neighbouring Colombia with US support to oust President Nicolas Maduro. *)Amnesty reports chilling details of Egypt press crackdown Amnesty International says journalism in Egypt has effectively become a crime over the past four years as authorities clamp down on media outlets and muzzle dissent. A new report by the rights group highlights 37 cases of journalists detained as part of the government's crackdown on press freedoms. Many of the journalists are charged with spreading false news or misusing social media under a broad 2015 counterterrorism law, expanded to include dissent. And finally… *)Broadway struggles to weather Covid-19 crisis New York's Broadway theatres fear the show will not go on without public funding to weather the Covid-19 crisis. Celebrated theatres around Times Square normally make around $33 million a week in tickets sales. Now, nothing. Many theatre professionals are on jobless benefits and it seems they will only get back to work if Broadway reopens in September as planned.

Quentin Earl Darrington made his Broadway debut in the 2010 Tony nominated revival of Ragtime, starring as Coalhouse Walker Jr. He also made his cabaret debut with New York's Broadway by the Year series, “Songs of 1927,” and his solo concert debut with “QED, Chapter 1: Verse 1.” He is workshopping two new personal projects entitled “That’s Life” and “The Summer of 91.” In 2016 he starred as “Old Deuteronomy” in the Broadway classic, CATS and currently you can see him in the Tony-winning revival of Once On This Island playing “Agwe, the God of Water.” Quentin joined Hilary on the final episode of season 1 to share his journey to Broadway, his transformational approach to performing and criticism, and the metaphor that he uses to keep his own life and work in check. Episode Highlights “It’s even sad to hear when people in the industry, even other actors who all experience the same things, will negatively look at a show even if the show does have some points it needs to grow, the fact is that everyone is creating art and everyone is pouring their heart and soul into work and believing in it, even if it’s a show about a blade of grass. There’s always a redemptive property or idea that the actor or composer or writer is trying to get across to an audience. There is somebody or some people who need to hear it and who will hear it. Most work should be respected and given a chance, and if for nothing else at least for the effort it takes in creating what we create here on Broadway.” “Listen, when you find a place where you’re happy, when you find a place where people treat you with respect and love, where you can have fun and artistically grow, there is nothing better than that safe, fulfilling, positive environment.” “My job is to keep my life and my windows clean so that His light shines through me, and if I focus on that, I don’t have to worry about anything else. I’m good.” “The key to my “success” is to love people and to serve people.” “Wherever you find yourself as an artist, I believe there is a way for you to use your gift to uplift people and change people’s lives.” Connect with Hilary on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
