I don't have a copy available to me where I am located at the moment. Below is a link to the production on YouTube. Let me know what you think and if you still would like a copy of the script. Obviously the script will be missing some of the blocking choices, music, etc. Let me know if you need anything ...

Jason,   Your best bet is to have the students record themselves individually and submit their videos to you to edit to look like Zoom.  With scenes, you have the actors connect with each other through their cell phones (audio only call) because audio has no latency.  They connect their cell phones ...

1.  So far I have only streamed on YouTube Live and I like that it automatically records and posts my streams after. 2.  I would disable the live chat feature and comments.  You really want your audience to focus on the performance.  I have found that when the chat is enabled, certain people start ...

Yes.  We purposely used YouTube Live because you can disable the chat feature, which to me is essential to keep any negative comments from being spoken, but also because live theatre is about being present in that space for two hours or so and giving your undivided attention to the performers.  Having ...

We are using our online ticketing service Booktix.com as they have a donation option through our online box office that was set up for our school.

Tracy, I can absolutely help you with this process as I am trained in using the First Folio, directed and acted in several of the Bard's plays and just finished directing my version of Macbeth or as I called it The Scottish Play in a Galaxy Far, Far Away.  I will start by agreeing with Rebecca that ...

I just did the Macbeth: The Scottish Play in a Galaxy Far, Far Away this past fall and could help you cut the play down to 70-90 minutes.  How many cast members do you expect as there are certain roles you can combine? I do still have my copy of the script and it is in an editable format, but I combined ...

Shawn, Unfortunately, there is no way to create what is being presented in the Good Morning America video, or other videos, where you see multiple people singing together from their houses through the internet.  What you are watching are videos that were individually recorded by each artist where ...

Robert Forbes is right with his two responses.  What everyone is looking for does not exist.  The videos you see of people from multiple locations singing together is made by each individual listening to the track through their earbuds/headphones and then recording their vocals acapella.  An individual ...
