This week, we've been talking about some of the challenges keeping theater alive in these days of coronavirus.
I've been really impressed with the resourcefulness that actors and directors all over the world have shown. But perhaps no one has impressed me more than the teachers and students of Sherman High School in Sherman, NY. When their production of Million Dollar Meatballs was cancelled by the state's stay-at-home orders, they came up with a totally ingenious way to let the show go on.
A little thing called Lego.
Their handiwork can be seen in the video above. I don't know if it was inspired by The Lego Movie or one of my favorite shorts of all time, but it's a lot of fun. And I've got to say, that's one of the most detailed sets I've ever seen--of any size.
You may not want to take on such an intricate, manually demanding technique. But let their creativity be an inspiration for you.
In theater, there are no bounds to what you can do.
