  • Emma Wahl's Statement Regarding Her WEST Fellowship Project Two
    Emma Wahl’s Statement Regarding Her WEST Fellowship Project Two of my biggest passions are musical theater and helping people who are less fortunate than me. Over the years, I have been able to combine these interests by raising money for great causes like Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Children’s Miracle Network, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Two years ago, I learned about another wonderful organization called Artists Striving To End Poverty (ASTEP), which provides creative arts and AIDS education for poverty- stricken children. ASTEP has “adopted” four locations to be recipients of its programming for poor children: India, South Africa, New York City and rural Florida. ASTEP sends professional actors to work with young people who have no access or exposure to arts education. Its mission is to engage and empower these children with the goal of increasing their self-esteem and making them self- sufficient. One of the ways that ASTEP raises funds for its programs is by producing concerts featuring performances by Broadway actors and actresses. With the incredible support of ASTEP founder Mary-Mitchell Campbell and Hathaway Brown School, where I am an eighth-grader, I have been working on a unique, two-year project to produce ASTEP’s first benefit concert in this part of the country, right here in Cleveland. This event, called “For Good,” will be held on Monday, April 13, 2009, in the Performing Arts Center at Cuyahoga Community College’s Eastern Campus in Highland Hills Village, Ohio. Mary-Mitchell Campbell is one of the busiest and most well-respected music directors on Broadway.

They posted mourning memes and clips of bedroom performances paying homage to those that would never occur onstage. In August, Emily Jacobsen published a short video of her singing a song about Remy the rat from the Disney movie Ratatouille. In it, her a cappella, digitally sped-up voice plays over pictures of the animated rat.1 From there, Ratatouille The Musical took off, with dozens of creators–composers, lyricists, choreographers, and designers–collaborating on the imaginary musical and eventually garnering media attention outside TikTok (see, for example, Fitzpatrick, 2020).2 This culminated in a January 1, 2021 benefit performance of Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical (hereafter just Ratatouille) that garnered over 350,000 views and earned two million dollars for The Actors Fund.3 Ratatouille served as a proving ground for TikTok’s potential to function as a digital gestation chamber for theatrical collaboration.
