Summary/Abstract: The pandemic brought us isolation, alienation, fear of the unknown. However, life had to go on, but how? Theater workers found themselves in a situation where the basic principles on which their profession is based were curtailed. Educators found themselves in a situation where they had to teach online. And theater educators found themselves in the worst situation, teaching a practical craft through online platforms. This text talks about how an actor, and also a theater educator, talks about his experiences during the pandemic and what all the efforts were taken to overcome the obstacles imposed by the situation. Here, the work of a virtual theater play "Illusions" is explained and what it means to create theater online. Furthermore, the educational process of a practical subject - Voice Technique and how to keep students in shape, while performing as much of the planned program as possible, is explained. This is a text in which the author gives an account of how an actor and professor manages his own profession, without allowing the situation to push him into a state of waiting and doing nothing.
