Up Next: August 23, 2020

Welcome to Up Next! This weekly blog post highlights upcoming local and national performances, education workshops, panel discussions, book recommendations, volunteer opportunities, and community service resources. As we develop new ways of enjoying and producing the arts during the pandemic, we hope that Up Next may help families, theater fans, educators, and community supporters discover something new or reconnect with much loved nonprofits. Have fun exploring!
