On March 22nd, 2020, SecretFormula produced our first ever online show. We didn’t know how it would go, or what to expect, but a year later and we couldn’t be happier to be spending time with this beautiful group of family we are privileged to call our family! And although it feels slightly strange to “mark” a year spent in our homes, we didn’t want to let this time pass by without acknowledging it in some way so…
…The Lockdown Lock-In: Help! We’re Trapped in Technology! We all spent a LOT of time “sucked” into our media this past year, whether it’s getting lost in a book, trapped in your TV, engrossed in the internet or mesmerized by movies! So we’re taking the “Trapped in TV Land” trope and applying it to this Lock-In!
So stockpile your favorite treats (here’s a great 90s food pairing from our pal Tonya!) and chug an extra cup of coffee because from 7:30pm EST to 4am EST (…and possibly later) you’re all ours! Can you make it through the whole night?
Here’s the evening’s schedule of events! *
7:30pm: A preshow of clips, commercials and other nostalgic video entertainment to get you in the mood!
