Blood, sweat, and tears...that’s what usually goes into any musical production process. But this year we added temp checks, masks, social distancing (12 feet when singing up until last month!), no sustained physical contact (no partner dancing or even high fives!), finding alternative space for performing, minimal props, filming angles, sunlight, sound recording, training camera operators, sound and film editing, chunks of time when students had to quarantine, acquiring a remote streaming license, dealing with streaming technology...and most heartbreaking of all - not feasibly having a live audience.
YOU, the audience, make theatre special! We look forward to welcoming you back to live performances in the future. Thank you for welcoming us into your homes this weekend! The show starts at 7:00pm tonight and tomorrow and 2:00pm on Sunday. We promise it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen on the NHS stage before! Get ready to ROCK! 🎸🎭
