Virtual Community Theatre Plays
If you can’t bring audiences into your venue, why not take the plays to them?Pioneer Drama Service is proud to publish a wide array of Virtual Theatre plays. These plays are written specifically to be both rehearsed and performed online via a video conferencing platform such as Zoom or Google Meet. It is a new and exciting art form that is just beginning to evolve and reveal its potential. Just a short time ago, no one would have conceived of trying to perform an entire play with every actor isolated in their own home. And yet, it’s happening... with wonderfully positive results.
Most of the plays here are written for the characters to be communicating without face-to-face dialogue, yet still interacting with each other in real time. This unique quality creates the ideal scenario to perform them online. Many virtual plays also lend themselves well to be performed live with social distancing for everyone’s comfort and safety.
All these shows are family-friendly, and we also invite you to explore our children’s and teens’ Virtual Theatre plays.
Pioneer Drama Service is pleased to offer 13 virtual theatre plays perfect for community theatres.
