After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the actors of Valley Youth Theatre (VYT) will debut the world premiere of "Dear 2020!", a play composed of monologues written by the cast and crew that describe what it was like for kids to grow up during a worldwide pandemic.
In the first scene of Valley Youth Theatre’s original production, “Dear 2020!” 15 young performers sit at school desks lined up in rows. But the stage quickly gets rearranged. Suddenly, what looked like a normal classroom, appears to take on the shape of a huge roller coaster. For these kids, that’s really how the year 2020 felt.
