“But then it’s really sort of a sprint to the finish,” Watkins, who was sweating slightly in a blue checked shirt and claret-colored trousers, said. “After we get back, we’ve got—oh, my God, the glamour never stops. We’re going to Cleveland!”
“There’s a lot of nostalgia in some places, knowing that it’s the last time,” Drucker, who wore a faded b…

Cornett, who planned to become a violinist before turning to film, met Deshommes when they sat next to each other on the subway.

Houseparty, launched in 2016, allows users to convene in “rooms” of up to eight people and entertain themselves with virtual board games (including a Pictionary knockoff) and trivia quizzes.
