TOGETHER APART
Youth Theatre in the Time of Coronavirus
We asked that educators and school administrators help us identify students from elementary school, middle school, and high school to think about, write about and express what they are feeling and living through during the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Through this creative writing project, Fantasy Theatre Factory took these written works and presented them as staged play readings, which were then be performed in an online platform as a virtual event on May 8th.
