Thanks for the article on high school musicals! My impression (based on the experiences of my children, grandchildren and friends), is that high school drama programs have become very important outlets for students to express themselves. Your article raised my awareness of one more loss that students have suffered during the pandemic. I am so glad to hear that school musicals are starting to return and I hope that student interest in this form of expression will continue to grow.

At both Mallard Creek and Myers Park, Covid is forcing theater programs to get creative with rehearsing and staging, so students stay safe during practices and performances.

Statements like this just obfuscate the reality that people under 30 years old account for 0.7% of the covid deaths in the US.
