2020’s Christmas Theatre Season is going to look different than most years, with most events going virtual. We’re all used to this by now – but that doesn’t mean you can’t have your traditions or make new ones. Online events have actually become one of my favorite ways to sample things I haven’t been able to do in person. The price is usually set per household, which makes everything more affordable with a big family, and I really enjoy being able to sit in my comfy family room to enjoy these events.
We have a sampling for some of our favorite 2020 events below.
