At Vernon Hills High, where they're planning to hold classes remotely in the fall, staff are still working on a plan for theater. For nearly half of the schools surveyed, financial losses from cancelled shows mean cutbacks for next year's theater and arts-related activities. Money made from ticket sales in the spring often funds the fall shows. This year, 85 percent of nearly 3,300 schools surveyed by the EdTA said they had canceled performances, and many educators say they'll feel the financial impact from that this year. They sold tickets and streamed the audio for "one night only!" in May. The school wasn't able to perform the show as planned last spring due to the coronavirus, so over Zoom, the cast and crew created a radio drama. "There are secret passageways and over-the-top characters." "It combines mystery with some really great physical comedy," she says. For Vernon Hills High School in Illinois, Clue was a great choice because of its creativity and humor, says Stephanie Freichels, the school's theater director.
