In this new micro-musical, four adopted siblings gather to send off one of their own.

Today we are releasing a bonus episode! It's a bit of episode 201 "Holding Up" that didn't make it into the final cut -- an arrangement of submissions from our peers and friends in the theater community about how they are holding up during the pandemic and theater shut-down. The focus is on the roots of our community-- the connection we have with each other. Hope you enjoy it! You'll hear from us soon with more episodes of Lobbycast. 

It's been exactly one year since the pandemic began and New York City went on lockdown. Alex Grubbs crafts an audio narrative reflection of the past year in quarantine featuring The Lobbyists and greater theater community to find out how everyone is holding up under unprecedented circumstances, with original music by The Lobbyists.
