Shoalhaven community theatre continues through coronavirus

Director of JAM Julia Armstrong said the concerts had been a great success.

"During the Zoom session, the audience is able to put comments up on chat which can be viewed by the performers and gives them all great encouragement," Ms Armstrong said.

"It is also an opportunity for the less experienced kids to have a go."

So far, two virtual concerts have been held including a special mother's day performance with mothers and grandmothers 'zooming in' from as far away as Melbourne, Canberra and Boorowa.

The concert included 10 individual performers, plus a family group who performed their own special skit and musical mashup in Alice in Wonderland costumes.

The fortnightly concerts will enable all of the 94 kids in the program to participate.

Once the lockdown is over JAM hopes to resume its rehearsal schedule to bring Alice in Wonderland Jr to the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre in July 2021.
