<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re assuming a lot of things simply because we don&#8217;t have the access,&#8221; Schoenfeld says. &#8220;We can&#8217;t go to Qo&#8217;noS and hang out with the Imperial Opera. That&#8217;s just not an option right now. And we&#8217;re hoping, of course, for some grants to allow that.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
