And now for the Back Story on … Theater for beginners, and below Alexis Soloski, a theater critic, missed going to shows so much that she enrolled in online classes to see if she could develop her theater skills at home.

I started with vocal work, arranging a voice lesson via Broadway Plus, a concierge service that used to arrange V.I.P. access to Broadway performances and has since pivoted to online meet-and-greets and private lessons. After polling friends about a good song for a nice lady with a Playbill-slim range and a shaky grasp of pitch, I picked “Sonya Alone,” from “[Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhBbo0P4QQAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTYvMTEvMTUvdGhlYXRlci9uYXRhc2hhLXBpZXJyZS1hbmQtdGhlLWdyZWF0LWNvbWV0LW9mLTE4MTItcmV2aWV3Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkFFX3BfMjAyMDA3MzAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MjA4MzUmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlY3Rpb249YmFja1N0b3J5JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MzQ4MjQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgA3NDUjX20mQWxSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).” I rehearsed when I could — in the shower, cooking dinner, under my breath at various playgrounds. By the time the lesson came around, I had it down. Though I once won a limbo contest at a classmate’s bar mitzvah, dance has also never been my thing. Still, I figured that Beginner Theater Dance, which I signed up for through Ailey Extension, couldn’t be so hard. I figured wrong. Clockwise from top left: Joseph Travers, a combat instructor; Jo Mei, who works with actors on their technique; Tera-Lee Pollin, a dance instructor; and Jimonn Cole, an acting trainer focusing on classical speech. Joseph Travers; Sara Krulwich/The New York Times; Tera-Lee Pollin; Sara Krulwich/The New York Times We warmed up to selections from “The Lion King” and “The Prince of Egypt.” I even learned a Fosse hip roll. But as we danced to “No Day but Today,” the “Rent” finale, the ballet terms — passé, coupé, rond de jambe — proliferated and the eight counts came worryingly fast. Though I had positioned my laptop camera so that it showed me only from the rib cage up. I couldn’t even fake the arms. Maybe that’s because, as I soon learned, a level exists even below Beginner. That level is Basic. So am I. The following week, I tried Steps on Broadway’s Basic Theater Dance. The instructor, Tera-Lee Pollin, a Broadway veteran with inhuman exuberance, guided a handful of students through “Waterloo,” the curtain number for “Mamma Mia!” and a song about defeat. Together, delightedly, we ponied, we swam, we grapevined. No jambes were ronded. So, yes, any amateur with enough time and resilience and discretionary income can probably learn theater basics remotely. The alchemy of live acting before a live audience almost comes through onscreen — but not quite. Until it can, I will think of the thousands and thousands of people in their homes, practicing their pentameter, arabesques and key changes, waiting for curtains to rise. That’s it for this briefing.
