WATCH: Milwaukee Rep Rolls out Vaccine Music Videos in Support of Community Health

Milwaukee Rep is presenting four original music videos to support vaccination efforts in Milwaukee and beyond. Together with community partner Kiran Vedula, the videos are part of Milwaukee Rep's Community Engagement Neighborhood programming to encourage the community to seek more information about COVID-19 vaccines. The videos feature four original songs by Milwaukee residents including "Prime Time" by Dayzhane Anderson, "Find A Way" by Donna Re'nee, "Hold On" by Marcya Daneille, and "My Shot" by NilexNile.

"About half of Wisconsinites 16 and older have received at least one dose of a vaccine, that is very encouraging, but we still have a long way to go," said Artistic Director Mark Clements. "I'm inspired by watching these thoughtful and personal appeals from our own Milwaukee artists. It's my hope that they will support the city's vaccination efforts so we can all stay safe and return to some sense of normalcy."

The videos were created by Kiran Vedula and Cody Laplant. Support was provided by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and Milwaukee Rep Trustee Dr. Mark Niedfeldt for guidance around vaccine hesitancy.
