Kamloops's Rivertown Players are going to be back this summer, but instead of taking to a stage, they're taking to the screen.

This season they'll be performing via Vimeo, the online video service.

"The team is currently hard at work writing and rehearsing shows to bring an entertaining, exciting summer!" states a press release from the Kamloops Arts Council, which oversees the group, in partnership with Project X.

"A theme they have been exploring this year is 'Heart The Planet.'"

The four-person group will perform live children's oriented shows for free from July 15 to Aug. 8. From Tuesday to Saturday there'll be two shows a day, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The shows will still have some interactive elements despite no audience being at the performance, in person.
