The Turkey Hill School Drama Club performed “10 Ways to Survive a Life in Quarantine” by Don Zolidis on June 27 on the Zoom platform in front of an audience of more than 100 viewers from around the country.
Actors included 12 Turkey Hill School fifth and sixth graders who practiced for more than a month.
Director Deborah Sansone said the actors took to the virtual stage very easily.
“They are already comfortable with the format of Zoom and they easily converted their stage knowledge to the new format,” Sansone said. “We had to use chat features to cue each other. They learned to work through technical difficulties and practiced improv in case something unexpected happened during the live performance.”
Sansone said soon the actors were sending encouragement and pats on the back through the chat function on Zoom.
