THE ASCAP FOUNDATION MUSICAL THEATRE WORKSHOP: THE WAITING

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM

The Wallis, Beverly Hills

**About the Show:** _The Waiting_ Story: Maria Isabella Andreoli & EmmaLee Kidwell Music: Maria Isabella Andreoli Book & Lyrics: EmmaLee Kidwell _The Waiting_ tells a story of grief from the perspective of the dead. Deep in the woods of Vermont there exists a space between two worlds. There lies “The InBetween” — a timeless purgatory where those who were taken from life too soon wait, tethered to a lost life they can’t remember. The story unfolds as these characters learn that the love and loss from their past lives may be the thing keeping them from moving forward. Woven through haunting folk melodies and earthly poetry, the musical explores how we keep those that we have lost in our hearts, in our memories, and in the land forever. _This evening is supported by The Music Man Foundation._ * * * Discover the next generation of musical storytelling at The ASCAP Foundation Musical Theatre Workshop, an inspiring showcase of emerging voices.
