Praise for The Virtual Support Group from Hell

Shonna Burkard
Wm. E. Hay Stettler Secondary School
It was also a lot of fun for the kids and a perfect script for a first time student director. The characters were quirky and the script was well written with the Covid component intertwined. It provided opportunities to have fun with specialty stage make-up and to be creative with costumes that can only be seen from the shoulders up. There are also opportunities to build set backdrops for each of the characters in the Google Meet call. This was a fun and unique theatre experience.

From the very first read through of this play the kids loved it. We could be heard laughing at the lines right up until the last rehearsal.
