Hey Suzanne!
I've seen a lot of schools and theatres using
The Singer's Mask made by The Broadway Relief Project.
Sesame Street has been using the masks for all of their puppeteers since the mask doesn't muffle the sound. They shared their initial
sound test, which is really interesting.
The
Notre Dame Music Festival utilized the mask for nearly all of their choirs in a socially distant concert.
Millikin University Choir uses it for their concerts.
Here's a complete production at SUNY Sullivan of
LORCA EATS BULLETS in which the entire company wore masks, incorporated them into the show.
Best,
Jeff Whiting

Subject: Musical Ideas?
Hello All,
I'm sure this type of question comes several times a year, so here goes!
We are looking for new ideas for our Senior School Musical. We have two stellar senior females (guys are all 'meh'), so we planned to do Freaky Friday. Now we are looking to move the production to later in the year so that we can have the show outside (due to covid). Our outdoor space is more of a courtyard, and would play nicely for a Shakespeare show, but we are looking at other musical options. I like the idea of Godspell, but feel that even if we cast the two females as Jesus and Judas, it would not fully highlight their abilities.
Thoughts??
Thanks!
