Unprecedented: A Modern Musical
A virtual musical written and composed by Jacob Ryan Smith
The world has ended, and the new COVID-19 pandemic has landed college senior Diana and her best friends, Taylor and Marsh, trapped in their childhood bedrooms. Desperate to connect, they log into their computers and unpack their new reality: graduating online, the awkwardness of Facetime relationships, the intensity of mental illness, an uncertain future, and of course, drinking on Zoom at 2 pm. Driven by a pop-musical score with witty and raw dialogue by Jacob Ryan Smith, this digital musical takes a completely unprecedented step into a new genre of musical theater.
