In partnership with The Actors Fund, Tilted Keyboard Studios presents: 'Wait for Me’: A project that shines a light on inclusivity, unity, and a love for the art of music and theatre.
One year ago, Tilted Keyboard Studios released
'Another Day of Sun', a cover of the song from the movie
La La Land that included around 150 people from across the globe to help raise money for the WHO Covid-19 Solidarity Relief Fund. That project was meant to show that, even in the toughest of times, it is important to continue to stay positive and look forward to brighter moments ahead.
This year, on New Year’s Day 2022, TKS is ramping it up even further with a cover of 'Wait for Me' from the hit musical Hadestown. The purpose this time is to support a cause that is near and dear to their hearts, the return of theatre. Tilted Keyboard has partnered with The Actors Fund to raise money to support those in the industry who were truly hit hardest by the pandemic. This project boasts around 200 people from five continents, a large array of age ranges, personal backgrounds, and a scale of experience spanning from "never performed in front of anyone" to Tony-nominated actors. TKS was also lucky enough to partner with Michael Merritt and Brave Hearts For Broadway, to welcome a handful of frontline workers who wanted to show their love for theatre as well.
Theatre has been one of the most difficult professions to return following the shut down in 2020. With everyone adjusting to a new normal, theatre is trying to do the same. While some shows have been able to reopen, breakthrough cases and justifiably strict preventative guidelines for the actors and workers in the industry, have made the return of theatre very difficult. However, similar to the message from TKS' previous project, 'Wait For Me' encourages everyone to stay positive. The cover preaches that even when the odds are against us, we can work together to achieve a brighter tomorrow. As said in Hadestown, it's so important to try to see “the way the world could be, in spite of the way that it is.
