Here’s a video to brighten your day, from the young stars of the Mayo Performing Arts Company.
This virtual version of You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen is meant “as a message of hope to those who are suffering or feeling lost during this difficult time, and a message of gratitude to all the essential workers who are sacrificing so much for our community,” according to the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown.
Video: A Message of Hope:
“Our Performing Arts Company would have been very busy this spring performing at over 35 events raising money for nonprofit organizations around Northern New Jersey. It is important for us to keep this commitment alive for our students and to allow them to continue to use their talent to give back to others,” said Cathy Roy, MPAC’s education director.
“Although we’re not able to perform live together yet, it was a really special group effort to share this song. I’m so proud of all of these kids! They are so committed to what they do and really represent our mission in the greatest way!”
