High schools are closed and their musicals are canceled around the country because of coronavirus concerns.
Theater kids now have no audience to showcase the numbers they've worked on, some for months and even years.
They won't have a live audience for the time being, but Broadway star Laura Benanti, who won a Tony award in 2008 for her performance in Gypsy, wanted to give student performers the next best thing — an online audience.
She put the call out on Friday.
