text: Something she told me that really amazed me was the fact that my friend was doing great in Musical Theatre. I didn't think distance learning would be beneficial for the class, because most of it is performances and workshops, where students learn ensemble numbers, workshop each other's audition pieces, and perform those auditions in front of the class. The fact that my friend was taking Musical Theatre from home goes to show that, even for a class so dependent on the presence of other people, students can still perform well while learning a majority of the curriculum in someplace other than a classroom (or, in the case of a Musical Theatre class, a black box).
