The downward trend in COVID cases continues and vaccinations are in full swing for eligible groups of people giving us more hope for the future. Once vaccinations are opened up for a few months to everyone we may see more things returning to some sense of normalcy; however, the experts are projecting that theaters will not be resuming operation for live performances anytime soon unless some radical changes are made to allow for social distancing. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

Until then, most theaters continue to expand their online offerings with more events to experience on a virtual basis. Some of these online events are only available on a one-time basis, which are often not announced far enough in advance to be included in this monthly column while others are ongoing and can be enjoyed on-demand; patrons will have to visit the venue’s website to see what’s available. Many are free to watch while some are charging a fee.

Here are the links to the theater websites that have advertised online offerings:

Until we emerge from this pandemic, we encourage everyone to stay safe by wearing a facemask and practicing proper social distancing at all times, especially when outside in public.

Sincerely,

Steve Zall and Sid Fish
