(SPOT.ph) In our darkest days—such as the last couple of months because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we turn to art: whether by checking out online art exhibitions or by streaming concerts and movies. Theater companies have also started beefing up their digital library by making previously filmed performances available for streaming and holding musical concerts with artists singing in their own basements. With all the shows we could catch online, it's impossible to run out of theater-related things to keep our minds occupied and distracted from the madness of the crisis.
