BNEWS Entertainment Buzz: ‘The Apple Tree’, Burlington High’s First Virtual Play

March 26, 2021

Burlington High School has become well-known for its theatrical productions but live theater is a difficult thing to both perform and view in a time of COVID.

Now, a group of Burlington High students have produced the school’s first ever virtual play, performing “The Apple Tree” by Jon Galsworthy.

BNEWS Entertainment Reporter Chris Flaherty spoke to Director and Stage Manager, BHS Senior Madelyne Gooltz on the production’s conception and preparations.

“The Apple Tree” premieres Friday March 26th here on BCAT’s Youtube and Education Channel (Comcast Ch.22, RCN Ch.13, and Verizon Ch.40)
