The Show Must Go On

By Zoe Klein

My documentary “The Show Must Go On” dives into the challenges faced by the UW-Madison fine arts community as they grapple with the effects of the pandemic on face-to-face instruction. I speak to students from the performing arts community, the orchestral community, band director Corey Pompey, music professors and more. This documentary illustrates the unique ways that these artists and performers have persevered through social distancing, Zoom classes and isolation. The show must go on, COVID-19 or not.
