Ready, Set, Social Distancing in Davidson: Week 19
Davidson Farmers’ Market re-opened for full business on July 11 – with a variety of COVID-19 restrictions in place.
This edition of “Ready, Set. . . Social Distancing in Davidson” looks more like our old “Ready, Set, Weekend in Davidson.” While we are still in Phase 2 of re-opening – we wanted to try to make this article more user-friendly for our readers. We will try to find and document online/virtual events and list them here in upcoming weeks. The other items that we had been including in previous editions have been broken out into individual articles: “Art in Your Inbox,” “Virtual Vacations,” and a dedicated article “This Week at the Davidson Farmers Market.”
Friday
Exit 30: A Pandemic Theater Detour
July 24 @ 7:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Davidson College Campus
In the age of COVID-19, the theater must ask: how can we gather as an audience but still keep each other safe? Exit 30: A Pandemic Theater Detour gives you a sprawling, immersive answer to that impossible question. Join a talented ensemble of Charlotte theater artists as they take over the evocative Davidson College campus with an intricate medley of pandemic performances, which weave together the joy, rage, humor, and justice that have defined the tumultuous summer of 2020. The best part? The entire show is conceived as a drive-thru, with occasional stops to get outside and watch a scene. Bring your car and your quarantine buddies, and journey from station to station, never coming closer than 20 feet to an actor or fellow audience member. All in-person tickets SOLD OUT!
