Coronavirus in New Jersey: What concerts, festivals and shows have been rescheduled, canceled. (4/6/20)
There may be no place to go, but there certainly are many places to visit -- online, that is -- as stay-at-home entertainment choices continue to populate the internet.
Art House Productions in Jersey City, for one, has created a new “Art House Roundup” weekly email “laying out all of our upcoming online programs" over a six-day period. This week’s lineup, for example, starts with a “Monday Artist Profile,” putting the spotlight on 2019-'20 INKubator Playwrighting Program participant Alyssa Haddad.
Rounding out the week are three live events:
- Art House will partner with No Dominion Theater Company 7 p.m. Thursday on Zoom for a live virtual story slam on the subject of “Dating Nightmares." To participate, sign up by April 8 by emailing nodominiontheatre@gmail.com. There is a $5 suggested donation.
- Virtual “Drag Bingo” with Harmonica Sunbeam is scheduled for 8 p.m. Friday, April 10, on Zoom. Bingo boards are $12.
- “Saturday Night Online” will present interactive standup comedy on Zoom 8 p.m. on April 11. Tickets are $12.
