INSIGHT: Rebuilding a Backstage
A second act for student productions through Zoom
When the lights came up on “The Family Showcase” on Nov. 17, the virtual audience saw two stages fitted next to one another on a Zoom screen. Iragi Nkera ’21 and Saphia Suarez ’21 walked onto separate stages. Without saying a word, they began pacing in zigzags.
They stopped center stage and began to speak simultaneously, heatedly addressing their parents through poetry. Finally they fell silent and sat down.
