Online Productions
At the start of 2020, like every other theatre in the country, we had a full programme of events ready for the year ahead. Our SCDA entry was lucky enough to reach the Regionals in Nairn and take home a 2nd place trophy, with the team being all set to head up to Thurso for the Divisional round in March. However, this was sadly to be the last live performance of the year for us after the Coronavirus pandemic hit Scotland in February 2020. Traditional live theatre ceased to be viable throughout the UK and suddenly every theatre country wide had to close their curtains until it would be safe to welcome audiences back again.
It soon became clear that this pandemic was here for the long haul as the UK remained in a state of lockdown. Professional and amateur theatre companies alike began to branch into the world of online theatre - a new and exciting challenge for many that, not only, gave opportunities for people to perform again, albeit in a new way, but also allowed audiences to continue to be entertained despite so many restrictions.
Here in Inverness, our committee were meeting regularly via Zoom to start the process of putting some productions online. We successfully put together our first live online performance - A Collection of Short Plays by Bruce Kane - in October 2020 and received some brilliant feedback from our audiences. Although there were many challenges faced along the way, we used this as a learning experience and have started to put together a programme of future performances, which will be available to watch soon.
