How do you involve yourself in a community that you’ve never interacted with in person? The Varsity Show is Columbia’s oldest theater tradition that celebrates what makes life at the University unique. But with a portion of the student body never having set foot on-campus, the show had to not only adapt to a new format, but also cater to an audience less familiar with life at Columbia. On this episode of Ghost Light, host Claire Schnatterbeck sits down with members of the Varsity Show creative team to discuss their experience adapting the iconic show to an online format and maintaining a sense of community.
