The Final Bow
While this documentary touches on the pandemic and how it shuttered a thriving industry, it tells the story of the robust history of the Broadway Theatre training & rehearsal spaces, Shetler Studios, and the man himself, Ron Shetler, who served a community seven days a week, for 30 years, and due to the complete Broadway shut down, he was forced to close his doors indefinitely.
The history of Shetler Studios and Theatre hangs in the balance. We want to make sure it is never forgotten and always celebrated.

outnumbered
OUTNUMBERED will look at how the two majority demographic shifts happening in the US in the next 30 years – the aging population and the majority-minority shift that can actually benefit each other and strengthen our nation.
The majority of older adults today were born just as social programs such as Social Security and Medicare were being created in the US. Still others grew up benefiting from social programs, and assuming that these benefits would be there for them when they reached their senior years. Yet as the US struggles to stretch these benefits to an ever-growing and shifting population, many question how these programs are impacting society.
How long they will last, and who should benefit from them?
