What does it take to put together a virtual production at the USC School of Dramatic Arts during the COVID-19 pandemic? This semester, virtual productions incorporated almost every element of the stage with work from our student actors, designers, stage managers and technical directors.

Assistant Technical Theatre Manager Joe Shea takes us behind the scenes of a virtual production of The Comedy of Errors to show us the technical and creative work that goes on during tech rehearsals and performances.
