Praise for Distance Learning

As a script written for online production, this was EXACTLY what we needed this year! This play explored some of the humour of the trials and tribulations of online learning, but it also allowed a glimpse into the difficult realities that many of us faced. My students really engaged with it and appreciated it. They also appreciated working on something that was tailored to their experience, instead of yet another "make it work" moment with staging and technology.
