20 SECONDS

"20 Seconds" is Tom Sweitzer's one-man show that was performed off-broadway in September and October of 2023. "20 Seconds" is a 90-minute raw look into a man’s life which promises to remind us that we are all human if we only allow ourselves to hear the music.

MY COVID STORY

To say that having had COVID changed my life, would be an understatement. Not only has life
changed because of actually suffering through a medium bout of it, but the world has changed
since March of 2020 and for that I am sad and grateful. I feel we were given all of this to help
awaken our souls, heighten gratitude and disconnect us so profoundly that we will connect on a
new level on the other side.
