During the Pandemic, a Livestream Lip-Synching Workaround

Life for theatre people has been highly daunting in our pandemic world, but the San Francisco Playhouse has kept moving forward, staying active, and engaging their audience through online offerings.

Among other challenges, the actors couldn’t sing on set due to Covid. Instead they had to lip-synch to their own solo recordings.
