To stage or not to stage, that is the question for area high schools as musical season approaches.
As many productions fell prey last year to the pandemic, school personnel and students didn’t think they would be facing the same challenge this year. But they are.
With gathering size and social distancing rules still in place, many schools are still figuring out what to do and how to do it. But the consensus seems to be that virtual is the way to go, and any live audience necessarily will be limited in size.

Greensburg Civic Theatre’s Greasepaint Players are working on a production of “Beauty and the Beast Jr.” to play for both livestream and in-person audiences.
About having a live audience, director Becky Ziegler Koch said, “People might say, ‘Why are you doing this now?’ But we thought it was important to let people know that theater is still alive. As a board, we know it’s important to follow all of the protocols and to do this as safely as possible.”
