Carmen is best known for her Tony-nominated lead role in the Steve Martin/Edie Brickell musical, Bright Star and was recently featured opposite Tom Hanks in the TriStar film, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

What can fans expect from the special concert? "I'm still deciding on a few things! It's all how you're feeling in the moment. You've just gotta go with how you're feeling on the day," said Carmen. "I'm nervous, but excited. I'm sure it will be very interesting!"

Cusack's career truly paused on March 12- the same day as was supposed to be the first preview of her latest show, Flying Over Sunset. "I have one friend who saw the dress rehearsal [of Flying Over Sunset], but that was it! So as soon as I got back [home] I had all of this pent up show energy and I thought, 'What can I do?' I'm pretty nifty with a sewing machine, so I just made tons and tons of masks. I sent a big box to a medical facility in Alabama. I needed to get busy with something and I wanted to be productive."

watch as she chats even more about how she has stayed motivated in the past year, how she has stayed in touch with her Flying Over Sunset cast, and more!
