We welcome you to a launch party and behind-the-scenes look at the making of ESSENTIAL, a 24-episode original series exploring the richness of the human experience in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on interviews with real people from all walks of life, student actors portray frontline workers, medical professionals, creatives, community leaders, drag queens, Black Lives Matter organizers, parents, and more. Join Drexel students on their journey to answer the question, “What does it mean to be ‘essential’ in this moment?”
