WHILE WE WAIT
A VIRTUAL MUSICAL in three acts
WHILE WE WAIT follows eight friends as they navigate an unprecedented global quarantine. Developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the musical video series was written, rehearsed, shot, edited and will be enjoyed, virtually. Through music, laughter and technological innovation, WHILE WE WAIT invites audiences to creatively embrace uncertainty by facing the best and the worst in times of crisis and pondering what it means to be connected.
