University of Delaware students always find a way to engage others in their community. Whether that be physically on campus, or through a computer screen. Hope from Home, a virtual performance by the Harrington Theatre Arts Company (HTAC), has figured out how to do just that.
With a night filled with lovely performances, the members of HTAC put together a completely virtual cabaret show and streamed it to their audience. Those involved once again felt like they were a part of something, while those at home got to be entertained for an evening.
The show came about as many things do these days—because of social distancing. Conner Holm, President and production manager said, “We focused on the idea of hope and how we could brighten up everyone’s lives amidst a global pandemic. This led us to creating a virtual cabaret since it wouldn’t require us to be physically together to act or dance and could be put together in a reasonable amount of time.”
