Faculty Report – Mr. King
There are considerably fewer students in the theatre program this year. Usually there are 95-100; this year there are about 60. Approximately 20 students auditioned for the movie – all received parts. There will be no live performances until we enter Phase 5. Students will be working on producing a movie. Most of the work will be in the editing, so recording will be done as quickly as possible. There will be four streamed performances.
