Artists submit gigs to virtual festival

The Social Distancing Festival is an online space for artists to showcase their work if their performances or exhibitions have been impacted by COVID-19. Toronto-based playwright Nick Green created the virtual festival after his own production was canceled during the second week of rehearsal. Now, he’s putting productions of all sizes and mediums alongside each other online — from a high school performance of “The Wizard of Oz” to the Dutch National Opera Studio.
