Musical theatre returns with hopeful outlook

August 30, 2020 by Gillian Lintz

Before most students moved back to campus, AU’s musical theatre students and professors had an entire week under their belts. What is typically a week of set-building, play or musical rehearsals and getting to know freshmen and newcomers, suddenly became a week of adaptation, socially-distanced concert rehearsal and discovery.  Many of the classes in the major will follow the hybrid format, utilizing both in-person classes when safe and online classes when appropriate.
