The Drowsy Chaperone by Voorheesville Dionysians

The Voorheesville Dionysians have persevered with theater in the time of the coronavirus. In this week’s podcast the drama club’s president, Hannah Lewis; its vice president, Keira Woods; and the director of this year’s musical, Robert Whiteman, discuss the challenges and joys of producing a play in the midst of a pandemic.A year ago, their production of “Legally Blonde” came to a screeching halt a week before opening night when restrictions were put in place to stem the spread of the virus. Not only did the young actors lose the chance to perform but the club, which had already invested in costumes, sets, and props but couldn’t sell tickets, took a financial hit as well. Nevertheless, the Dionysians are putting on a musical this month — it can be viewed through ShowTix4U. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
