McKellen won a special Olivier โ his seventh โ for his one-man 80th birthday tour of the U.K., staged before the pandemic as a fundraiser for regional theaters. A handful of theaters have reopened to reduced, socially distanced audiences, but many are still shut and relying on emergency funding from the government to stay afloat. Olivier organizers say the next awards ceremony will likely not be until 2022, because so little work has been staged this year.
'Safety is always priority': Radford University emphasizes safety efforts after gunfire near campus
RADFORD, Va. - Daran Perkins was laying in bed when shots rang out Tuesday night in the 500 block of Fairfax Street, about a block away from Radford University. Radford University junior Andrew Scott lives about a block away from where the shots were fired, but was asleep at the time and did not hear them. A university alert Tuesday night advised anyone on campus to stay inside, but the university was not on lockdown. "At no time were they unable to leave," said Caitlyn Scaggs, Radford University's university relations associate vice president. We are going to prioritize a quick warning with as much information as we have at the time," Scaggs explained.
