Did you know The Lion King is based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet? We are celebrating Shakespeare’s birthday and life (he died on his birthday at age 52). We have your must-see list for Shakespeare productions and films based on his work so you can properly celebrate! Here is a fun fact about Shakespeare: he was married to Anne Hathaway…not Princess Diaries, Anne Hathaway (although she was named after her).

On April 29 – May 2, American Bach Soloists will present Pious and Profane, a special run of performances featuring six award-winning vocalists from all over the world!

The holidays definitely look and feel different this year but we have done things around the house to try and “normalize” the season as much as possible; setting up our nostalgic holiday decor, making festive treats, face timing our family, and wrapping up presents. Another tradition that we’re excited about is watching the Nutcracker! No, it won’t be live… BUT there is a silver lining. 

The way that we experienced the arts just two months ago has completely changed. We used to only get to see the arts that were located in our neighborhoods or cities because they primarily took place in theaters — but now, that’s a different story. Although Covid-19 has kept us indoors to keep our fellow Arts Addicts safe, it has also advanced and changed the way we experience the arts.
