The Show Must Go Online
Event description
With the Theatre closed amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our Performing Arts teams had to rethink the way they would teach, rehearse and deliver a production this year.
Our original plans were postponed but as they say, the Show Must Go On…line! The performance was taken off the stage and into student’s homes with the brand new and quirky online musical, specially written by Beat by Beat Press during the pandemic and closures of schools and venues.
The Show Must Go Online is the first of its kind – a musical to be rehearsed, remotely, performed virtually and shared with audiences online.
The storyline includes a series of solo monologues and songs that, when recorded and played in sequence, present a musical theatre experience online.
It is a bit like life imitating art, with the plot centred around a group of students who are desperately trying to
save their annual production and their Drama Department by turning their show “Brushes with Greatness: A Dental
Hygiene Musical”, into a virtual production.
