2020's Theater Kids Sing and Dance in Homeschool Musical Trailer

The pandemic has not only wreaked havoc on Broadway and live events in general, but it's also forced a lot of high schools to cancel their own theatrical performances, robbing students of vital artistic experiences that would help shape who they might become.

Broadway star Laura Benanti sought to salvage those missed opportunities by inviting high school theater kids from across the country to record themselves singing and post their videos on social media to give thema chance to be heard on a different kind of stage.

For six of those students, that stage has become the international streaming service stage, as Homeschool Musical: Class of 2020 will showcase their stories and songs.

Homeschool Musical: Class of 2020 premieres December 17 on HBO Max.
