"We are excited to launch this new biweekly show in an effort to stay connected to our audiences while we can't be together in person and also to celebrate the artistry that we look forward to seeing on our stages once again in the future," said Signature's Managing Director Maggie Boland. "Though nothing can come close to replacing live performance, we're proud to work together with staff and artists to create content that we can all enjoy together, if only virtually -- this is just one of several exciting programs we're looking forward to introducing over the coming weeks and months."

"Signature's latest digital offering provides our audiences a chance to check in with some of the incredible artists who have made Signature such a special place over the years, while also introducing them to new voices and faces that we hope to be a big part of Signature's future." said Matthew Gardiner. "We hope these periodic episodes offer you some joy in these troubling times."
