We performed two shows last year successfully, albeit not to the standards we are used to. In November we did a socially distanced performance of Addams Family and in March The Wizard of Oz. Both were with audience restrictions, masks, every other row empty, two seats in between the audience groups, etc. This year we're being told no restrictions, masks optional, but that may change. We don't have a show until November, so my students will continue to wear masks during rehearsals. During shows they wore them offstage, although it messed with their makeup, and they took them off while on stage. No one got sick or had to quarantine, so it was very successful. We're excited to be getting back to some sense of normalcy, but no one is holding his or her breath, because we know this thing changes with the wind. Trying to be positive and upbeat for the kids sake. Just as a side note, we had many cases of COVID in our high school but not one single hospitalization or anything more than loss of smell for any of those who tested positive. Even with the Delta variant this appears to be holding true and we are on our third day of mask optional in person learning. My class sizes are back to usual (48 in my smallest class!). I am vaccinated but with only one lung (lung cancer surgery in 2013) I wear a mask and socially distance when I can. So far, so good. Hope the same is true in your neck of the woods.
