Although theaters throughout Southern California continue to be closed to public gatherings as June begins, there are discussions now about how and when they may be allowed to reopen, which is an encouraging sign, and we are hoping for the best! However, for now, no live stage shows are allowed at venues by mandate from state and local authorities due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic outbreak.

As we told you last month, some are offering online events instead. These online events are often available one time only, and are frequently not announced far ahead of the event, so you will have to visit the venue’s web site to see what is available. Most are free to watch, some are charging a small fee. Here is a list of the web sites you can check to see what they are offering:

Until we emerge from these trying times, we encourage everyone to stay safe and practice social distancing at all times when outside in public. Our warmest wishes go out to all of you during this crisis! We want to thank the PR’s and our readers for their ongoing support.

Sincerely,

Steve Zall and Sid Fish
