If you try to do the same type of shows you previously did, I suspect you and your students will end up very frustrated.
This could be a great time to start a playwriting initiative, culminating in students performing their works in your classroom space for parents and friends. If students write, say, 10-minute plays that don't require a set, that would fit the classroom performance space well. And if your audience enjoys the plays and wants more people to see them, you could move to one of the schools for additional performances.
One of the traditions I instituted at the school from which I retired in 2019, the annual student-directed, almost entirely student-written, short play collection each spring, has endured through all of the ravages of Covid. I attended this year's incarnation a couple of weeks ago and got to experience the excitement as an audience member. The students feel empowered as artists and learn so much about working with peers in a collaborative endeavor.

Does anyone have suggestions for a show that would work well if you don't have a stage? Our campus is being rebuilt and we will be at a temporary location for two years and there isn't space to perform other than a regular classroom.
