LAUSD closures on March 13, 2020 impacted all of us, particularly devastating our 4th and 5th graders who were days away from final performance.  Many tears were shed.

​

Determined to model a healthy and creative way to deal with difficult circumstances, on Tuesday March 24, 2020 we launched a Virtual Program for our middle-school students with instruction in performing solo and collaboratively for the camera, and DIY lighting and costuming; our Teaching Artists continued their regularly scheduled workshops on Zoom.  

​

The challenge was significant but encouraged by our students’ continued enthusiasm and determination, our season closed with a online but beautiful performance of "Romeo & Juliet".

​

We  proceed boldly  with  undaunted drive and optimism preparing a new   virtual curriculum  for a spectacular season in 2020/21!
