Making virtual performance work for your program

Virtual plays for high school keep theatre going when sharing a stage is not possible and open doors for students who struggle with transport or anxiety about big crowds.

Acting for the camera

These productions build skills in on camera performance. Students learn how to frame themselves on screen and use small shifts in voice or expression to carry a scene.

  • Helpful for building confidence with public speaking in digital spaces

Because these scripts are built for virtual performance, scenes lean into chats and online investigation so the format feels natural to teenagers. You are not trying to squeeze a traditional proscenium show into a video platform.

High stakes stories told online

In The Ghost, a bullied hacker accepts an offer to upload her mind into the Cloud, only to discover she has become a corporate captive controlled by artificial intelligence. The story asks hard questions about loyalty and what it means to show up for someone you have harmed.

Sybil unfolds through live streams and group calls as classmates search for the truth behind a missing influencer. It gives your ensemble a fast moving mystery and invites conversations about performance culture and mental health.

Audio and camera driven mystery

For departments interested in audio drama, Stranger strands a group of passengers on a stalled train while a true crime podcaster turns their fear into content. You can stage it as a radio style project or as a Zoom grid whodunnit.

Tech and teaching details

These virtual high school plays keep production demands realistic. Students need personal devices and simple lighting they can control at home or on campus, rather than complex rigs. Rehearsals can happen fully online or in a hybrid pattern.

Licensing follows the same streamlined model you will recognise across the Gitelman and Good catalog. Script access is digital from the start and classroom resources are easy to share, so your students gain experience with performance that reflects how they already communicate every day.
