Any virtual-school theater teachers out there?

I've been offered the possibility of starting a theater class and extracurricular for a fully-virtual school with students from all over the state.

Has anyone in this community made that work? I'd love some groundwork.

There's a lot that you can do with virtual theatre.  As an example, here's a play that several remote students put together virtually.

Hello! I think the best virtual plays lean into the medium--instead of adapt something intended for the stage. We provide several high-quality virtual plays you might want to consider--they were all performed at Mather High School in Chicago. Virtual Performance | Gitelman & Good Publishers

If you're interested in checking out a musical, we have this really affecting musical that was actually the reverse--it was adapted to the stage FROM a virtual musical. You can read the entire thing for free here (the stage version). If you're interested in the virtual version, let me know and I can get it to you!

Hope this gives some food for thought! Let me know if you have any other questions. :-)
