With the forecasters predicting sushine and record breaking warm temperatures, the day seemed ideal for a trip to Liverpool. Rather than braving the traffic and trying to find a car park, we decided to travel by train and spend the day on a self guided walking tour of the UNESCO World Heritage listed city centre and docklands. That was the plan…
It was overcast when we arrived – not the sunshine we were expecting, but perfect for walking. Lunch was our first priority and the menu at the busy Pump House restaurant was enticing. A local lady dining at the next table gave us some friendly advice. "Have the fish and chips," she said. "They're the best in town." We did, and she was right.
We weren't so sure about her next statement. "It's going to rain this afternoon," she said. "It's going to pour at 2 o'clock." That's not what the weather forecast said, we were thinking, although we were too polite to say so.
Fortified by our delicious lunch, we set off to explore Albert Dock. Opened in 1846, Albert Dock was once the centre of a bustling port for sailing ships from around the world. As these ships were replaced by modern vessels, the docks and warehouses became redundant and they finally closed in 1972. After a restoration project lasting six years, Albert Dock reopened in 1988 with cafés and restaurants, galleries, shops and museums bringing people back to the old warehouses along the River Mersey.
This part of the river is more than a kilometre wide and the buildings on the opposite bank looked like doll houses. Undeterred by the heavy, grey clouds gathering low in the sky, we wandered along Kings Parade where hundreds of engraved love locks decorate the path by the river.
Even on this dull day, tiny ferries were busy on the river and we thought a cruise would be a pleasant way to see the city. But just as we turned towards the ferry terminal, it began to rain. Our lunch time companion's prediction was correct. It wasn't just a light shower – it was pouring!
Even with our raincoats walking was no longer enjoyable, so we decided to see Liverpool from a different perspective and boarded a CityExplorer bus. We sat downstairs, where the view wasn't as good but the seats were dry. The driver's live commentary was as entertaining as it was educational and for the next hour we listened to his stories of Liverpool and her beautiful buildings.
Eventually the rain eased enough for us to start walking again. We left the bus on Victoria Street and went around the corner to Mathew Street, home of the Cavern Club, where the Beatles performed nearly 300 times in the early 1960s. One benefit of the rain was the lack of people and we walked straight in…or down, as the steps went below street level to the basement. It was warm and dry and a great band was playing Beatles music – it was fun to stop for a while and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.
After browsing in one of several Beatles shops, we headed once more towards the River Mersey.
The city's maritime history is commemorated at Liverpool Parish Church where a weather vane in the form of a golden sailing ship sits on top of the tower. In the Church gardens, the Liverpool Blitz Memorial depicts a young mother taking her children to shelter during a bombing raid. On the roof of the Royal Liver Building, once the tallest building in Europe, sit two mythical Liver birds, medieval symbols of the city.
Our last stop was St John's Garden, a terraced sculpture garden featuring statues of well-known Liverpudlians including Prime Minister William Gladstone and a memorial to the King's Liverpool Regiment.
We arrived back at the train station just as the leaden skies opened again. We'd had enough of walking in the rain and, as the Beatles would say, we had tickets to ride!

Poldark is Everywhere!
We couldn't go anywhere in the south of Cornwall without seeing the handsome face of Ross Poldark. From cushions to coffee cups, his presence was unavoidable. I wasn't complaining. I've read Winston Graham's wonderful historic tales of the Poldark family, and I enjoyed watching both the original 1970s and new 2015 television productions as much as anyone.
So did my sister-in-law, who asked for a souvenir. When I purchased a key ring for her, I made sure to tell the shop assistant it wasn't for me. He laughed – it wasn't the first time he'd heard that story!
The Poldark name doesn't just belong to the fictional family though. Close to Helston on the Lizard Peninsula is the Poldark Mine, and you'd be mistaken if you think it's a television set left behind after filming.
Tin has been mined in this area since the Bronze Age and records show it was being processed here in Tudor times. As the oldest surviving complete tin mine in Cornwall, it's part of the UNESCO Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site.
The mine shafts visible today date from the 18th century. The only way to see them is on a guided tour; wearing protective helmets, visitors go underground to explore the old tunnels and shafts on several levels. The walls are slick with moisture and the sound of water still flowing deep in the mine fills the dark spaces.
While modern access is via metal steps, remnants of the old ways remain in place and veins of ore-bearing granite left untouched make a dark tracery across the rock walls.
So what is the connection to the Poldark name? Winston Graham launched the last book in his Poldark series here in 2002 and underground mining scenes in both television shows were filmed in the mine. According to our tour guide, the author was a friend of the mine owner and gave his permission for the mine to be renamed in honour of his much loved characters.
Fact or fiction? I don't know, but it makes a great story!

Exploring England #4
Like many people, we visited Dorset's spectacular Jurassic Coast for one reason. Well-trod paths over dramatic cliffs lead to pretty coastal villages but we weren't looking up. With heads down and eyes on the ground we had one goal – to find fossils.
The 154 km stretch of coast between Exmouth and Studland Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage area, with geology spanning the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Millions of ancient creatures and plants are preserved in the sedimentary layers of the cliffs, waiting to be revealed when the cliffs crumble away during wild weather.
At the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre we saw huge ammonites dating from the Jurassic Period. With high hopes we joined the crowds on Charmouth beach and, although we found many tiny treasures, there were no 185 million year old fossils lying around waiting to be discovered.
Continuing our search, we travelled west to Lyme Regis, a very busy town with very narrow streets. Avoiding the congestion and costly parking, we left the car at Charmouth Road car park. From the top of the cliffs it was a gentle downhill walk to the foreshore where a wide wall, built to protect the cliffs from erosion by the sea, doubles as a walking route into town. It was only 400 metres but we took our time, enjoying wonderful views of the English Channel, the Jurassic limestone cliffs and the stony beach connecting Charmouth and Lyme Regis .
Evidence of fossils was everywhere in Lyme Regis.
The Lyme Regis Museum houses a vast collection. Some fossils were collected by Mary Anning, who made her living finding and selling them in the first half of the 19th century, while others have been found by modern enthusiasts. Along with more beautiful ammonites, there were fossilised plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs, sea creatures whose descendants include whales and dolphins.
Fossils are still sold in Lyme Regis but we didn't want to find our first fossil in a shop. The best way to achieve our aim was to join one of the museum's guided walks, led by paleontologists Chris, Paddy and Tom.
We met the our group outside the museum and, after a short explanation about the geology of the coast, our guides led the way to the beach, where early morning wanderers were already scouring the shore.
Paddy showed us how to look for signs of fossils in the stones and demonstrated safe techniques for breaking them apart.
Armed with a little knowledge and much anticipation the group spread out, and before long fossils were turning up everywhere.
Our guides made sure everyone ended the walk with a handful of history. Ours included a tiny ammonite encased in mudstone and two belemnites, distant relatives of today's cuttlefish.
With our goal accomplished and our walk completed, our perspective changed. It was time to look at more than just the beach!
See more walks all around the world at Jo's Monday Walks.
Lyme Regis Museum is currently closed for refurbishment but daily fossil walks are still taking place. Check the timetable for costs, dates and times.

A Morning in Port Douglas
Goin' Cruising #7
Day Five – Port Douglas
Port Douglas is the gateway to the World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest and, even on a sunny morning, the distant mountains are dark with a dense covering of forest. We've been to the rainforest before so this time we stayed in town.
Our walk began from the Reef Marina, where small boats were moored alongside luxury yachts and fishing trawlers.
It was a short walk around the waterfront to Market Park and the Church of St Mary's by the Sea. Inside the church, the window behind the altar created a real life artwork.
Leafy Macrossan Street begins at the end of the park. This bustling street is lined with souvenir shops, cafés and pubs and we wandered along, stopping on the way to admire local arts and crafts.
Macrossan Street leads to the Esplanade and the northern end of Four Mile Beach. Our goal was Flagstaff Hill, where an easy walking track leads up and over the summit to Trinity Bay Lookout.
From here, the view was breathtaking: Four Mile Beach curving away to the distant mountain range, Pacific Dawn resting at anchor in the Coral Sea and beyond her, the fringes of the Great Barrier Reef showing dark blue on the horizon.
We continued walking down the other side of Flagstaff Hill, past luxury homes hidden behind tropical gardens. We envied their million dollar views and debated which home we would buy should we ever win the lottery.
At the bottom of the hill we left our daydreams behind and joined the tourist crowd on Macrossan Street. We retraced our steps back to the marina, where a little orange tender was waiting to carry us back to the ship in time for a well-earned lunch.

The Thong Shack
Round Australia Road Trip #14
There's a shrine on an isolated beach not far from the little coastal town of Denham. It doesn't honour a deity and worshippers do not come on pilgrimage here. Nevertheless, it's a shrine – dedicated to the famous Australian fashion icon, the thong!
Are you thinking of that tiny, barely there undergarment? No it's not that. Australians have another name for that.
We wear thongs on our feet. They're durable, comfortable and casual; the perfect holiday footwear.
The Thong Shack is decorated with all types of thongs: large, small, pretty or plain. Many have been inscribed by their owners and pay homage to their wanderlust.
Where have you worn your thongs?

Naglo D II
The DII quadruplane built by the Naglo Werft of Pichelsdorf, near Berlin, was designed by Ing Gnädig (who was, at the time, still in the employ of the Albatros Werke) and participated in the second D-type contest at Adlershof in the summer of 1918 (the debriefing minutes of which indicating that it was to appear for further testing after modification). Powered by a 160 hp Mercedes six-cylinder water-cooled engine and intended to carry an armament of two LMG 08,15 machine guns, the Naglo DII appears to have been based on an Albatros DV type fuselage. The bottom wing, completely independent of the three main lifting surfaces, being attached to an extruded keel and braced with splayed struts. Official type testing was undertaken on 24 May 1918, and during the D-type contest, evaluation pilots praised the excellence of the construction and workmanship of the D II while calling for an improvement in the flight characteristics.

"CHANGE YOUR PERCEPTION, CHANGE YOUR LIFE"
Who do you see in the mirror? Who are you? What do you offer that comes so natural to you, that it is the same as breathing, with NO thought required. In that place, you have the greatest joy, in sharing it, in doing it, and or in just thinking about it.
We all have something to offer and to me it is the same as your fingerprint, each one of us having uniquely our own. What hinders the process of developing in that area or operating in it, investing in it, sharing it, doing it more often? Now for some folks, maybe they already do, as we speak are operating in the arena they are passionate about. . and if that includes "YOU", I applaud you, keep moving and discovering New Heights to travel!
Time is fleeting and very often daily distractions, obligations take us away, I would even say "ROB" us of some time to embrace and or develop our dreams, our goals, our aspirations to travel the path that our Vision has shown us. Living life, doing more of what we love to do and know that our daily life should encompass.
I have "Great News". . .we can get started NOW and WE CAN. . .
I can be the Change, I want to see. YOU can be the Change you want to see. It all starts with WHO we see in the Mirror, with WHO we already know that we were born to be. It is that place of passion, and a belief that our purpose centers around it.
It could be the littlest thing or it could be a monumental thing, the point, is to start the Journey, to find that place. . .if you don't know what drives you, what brings you the most joy, then Your Homework is REFLECTION and REVIEW. Look back at your life and what have you been drawn to, what are the activities that you were quick to be involved in.
If You Know Your Place of Passion. . .then it is time to Develop it, to take it to the Next Level and Travel to the Highest Levels possible.
Our lives drive in the direction, to the place that we believe we belong or should be. If our environment, our circle of friends, our confidants are not empowering, they are not uplifting, positive, even visionaries, an asset to our life, then REFLECTION is necessary, a better word is VITAL!
Where do you want to Drive? What direction do you see up ahead, what does your map look like?
Time is an Investment and Who we spend time with. . .what we do with our time, is a vital and a key component. When time is spent, you never will get that time back. The company we keep, the places we go, when we are building, developing, moving in the direction that our VISION is Driving us to, or in taking a breath of appreciation of the place that we are in. . . .
It is imperative to be alert to those you allow to speak into your life. That includes anyone around you, or what you read, what you watch and or listen to, especially when if it delivers a barrel of Negativity.
The truth is we all have a story and it really is not about, What Happened to Us, it is about What we Do with it that matters. How we react to life's challenges, determines if we choose to operate as a Victim or Victorious.
Take a moment and reflect on WHO and WHERE you spend your time. Listen closer to the conversations you are having with the company you keep.
ask yourself. . .What does their life reflect? What does it look like in the very area that they are speaking to me about? Giving advice to me on?
The bottom line are they qualified to speak into my life. . .
Are they an asset or are they a liability?
I would revise the last line. . .Have Faith in what can be. . you drive the direction of your life by your perception. Where are you driving to? If you have a Website, Facebook Page or a Blog , be sure to share with us.. .Life should be a WIN-WIN for all involved so that means your voice, your Perspective is Welcomed!

Trump's lawyer reportedly got a secret order barring porn star Stormy Daniels from dishing on tryst
Published Wed, Mar 7 201812:53 PM EST Updated Wed, Mar 7 20186:34 PM EST
Dan Mangan@_DanMangan
A lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels says she did have sex with President Donald Trump more than a decade ago.
Daniels is suing to be released from a nondisclosure agreement that she signed on the eve of the 2016 presidential election with a company set up by Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen.
Cohen has admitted facilitating a $130,000 payment to Daniels but has denied she had an affair with Trump.
Trump has never publicly responded to the claims about Daniels.
Stormy Daniels' lawyer says the porn star is prepared to return her "hush money"
A lawyer for President Donald Trump last week reportedly obtained a secret restraining order barring porn star Stormy Daniels from disclosing details of what she has said was an intimate relationship with Trump and on Wednesday again "threatened" her if she talks.
NBC News revealed Wednesday that Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen — who has admitted facilitating a $130,000 payment to Daniels — obtained from a private arbitrator an order prohibiting her from disclosing "confidential information" related to a nondisclosure agreement she signed in exchange for that cash.
In a statement sent to CNBC, Cohen's lawyer Lawrence Rosen said:
The Settlement Agreement contained an arbitration clause that permitted EC, LLC. to seek an injunction in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the agreement. The designated judge from the arbitration tribunal found that Ms. Clifford had violated the agreement and enjoined her from, among other things, filing this lawsuit. We intend to pursue our recourse in the context of the arbitration as agreed to by the parties and continue to categorically refute the claims alleged by Ms. Clifford and her counsel.
EC is a reference to Essential Consultants, a company set up by Cohen that was used to pay Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
NBC's story came a day after Daniels sued Trump in a Los Angeles court in an effort to void that nondisclosure agreement, which she signed in October 2016, right before the presidential election that Trump won.
And it came hours after Daniels' lawyer told NBC's "TODAY" show that Daniels had had sex a decade ago with Trump — and that Trump had to have known about Cohen's arrangement to pay Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet before the election about their tryst.
Michael Avenatti, Daniels' attorney, also said that she is "prepared" to return that money if need be.
Avenatti said that agreement is not legally valid because Trump never signed it.
The lawyer said he believed Trump did not sign that document — which used pseudonyms for the parties involved — "so that he could later claim deniability" about the affair with Daniels.
"It's our position that the entire document is null and void," Avenatti said.
If Avenatti's conclusion is accurate, then the agreement's requirement that disputes between the parties to the deal would be settled by arbitration likewise would not be binding.
Adult film star Stormy Daniels appeared at a news conference to tout the success of Restricted to Adults (RTA) website and other efforts by the adult film industry to protect children from inappropriate material held at the National Press Club, May 29, 2008.

Hours after Avenatti's interview aired, NBC News revealed that Cohen on Feb. 28 had gotten the temporary restraining order, as part of what Daniels' suit has called a "bogus arbitration" proceeding against her.
Avenatti is quoted in the NBC News story as saying that Cohen, through his own attorney Rosen, has since made other efforts both to enforce the restraining order and to warn Daniels that she would be subject to damages if she talks about Trump.
"Earlier today, Mr. Cohen through his attorney, Mr. Rosen, further threatened my client in an effort to prevent her from telling the truth about what really happened," Avenatti told NBC News.
"We do not take kindly to these threats, nor we will be intimidated."
Trump lawyer's $130,000 payment to porn star was reportedly flagged as suspicious
Daniels says in her suit that she had "an intimate relationship" with Trump that began in the summer of 2006 and which continued into 2007. Trump's wife Melania gave birth to their son Barron in March 2006.
"Did she have a sexual relationship with the president?" Avenatti was asked about Daniels on the "TODAY" show.
"Yes," the lawyer replied.
Asked if Cohen and Trump had tried to buy her silence with the payment in 2016, Avenatti said, "Exactly."
The nonprofit government watchdog group Common Cause has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission about the payment, which it has called an undisclosed in-kind contribution to Trump's presidential campaign.
In January, Cohen said: "These rumors have circulated time and again since 2011. President Trump once again vehemently denies any such occurrence as has Ms. Daniels."
Cohen has acknowledged facilitating the payment to Daniels from his own funds, but he declined to say what it was for.
Avenatti told the "TODAY" show that "there's no question the president knew about it [the payment] at the time," adding that the idea that a lawyer would have gone off on his own to make such a deal is "ludicrous."
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked about the payment to Daniels on Wednesday afternoon at a briefing.
"I've had conversations with the president about this, and as I've outlined earlier this case had already been won in arbitration, and that there was no knowledge of any payments from the president and he has denied all of these allegations," Sanders said.
"None of the allegations is true," Sanders said.
NBC News reported that Trump's name is not on the arbitration case filed by Cohen.
Avenatti said on the "TODAY" show that he would leave it to Daniels to disclose whether she still had photos, images and documents to back up her claims of a relationship.
Trump's personal lawyer says he paid porn star Stormy Daniels out of his own pocket
But he also said, "We certainly haven't disclosed all the facts and evidence we're aware of."
Asked whether Daniels, in filing the suit, was looking to be free to sell her story for payment, Avenatti said, "No."
"She's looking to disclose the truth about what happened," Avenatti said.
"I think it's time for her to tell her story, and for the public to determine who is telling the truth."
The lawyer said Daniels believed filing the suit was "important" because of the dissemination of "misinformation" by Cohen and others.
Asked to explain a statement Daniels issued Jan. 10 in which she denied having an affair with Trump and having received hush money from Cohen, Avenatti told the "TODAY" show that she had been forced to issue that denial.
"Mr. Cohen demanded that she sign that statement," Avenatti said. "We believe it was done through force and intimidation."
"It's a false statement, absolutely," he said of Daniels' denial.
The lawyer said that if Daniels prevails in her lawsuit "she may have to" return the money she got from Cohen.
"And she's prepared to do that," Avenatti said.

Slack start to the trading with the gulf, with a value of more than $23 billion in
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Shares of Soft Technologies, Inc., the fast-growing workplace, the messaging and communication platform, for the first time, it has been publicly traded, at a price of $38.50 each, and the valuation of the company at more than $23 billion, more than $16 billion of the reference point can be set by the New York Stock Exchange.

The stock rose to 54.2%, up to more than £ 40.08 for lunch on a Thursday. The new york stock exchange on Wednesday to set a reference price of $26 each. For the price, it is not a statement about the price, but it will be used in the process of building a book of orders.
Slack went the unusual route of a direct application for listing on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, which will be different from that of a traditional IPO because it did not raise fresh funds. The list is a test for a method that was developed last year, the music streaming company, Spotify Technologies SA.
Slack's debut, follows a spate of much-anticipated technology Ipos, some of which, such as Uber Technologies Inc and Lyft Inc. have had a disappointing start to the trading.
The direct entry model, provides the Oil an opportunity to save a considerable amount of investment banking fees, and to avoid contracts that would otherwise have been the shareholders, on the sale of their stock.
"We think that it is a direct list, it is a more effective and efficient manner, in order to arrive at a normalized level of supply and demand, without the constraints of an IPO of the company," said Allen, Shim, Slack's chief executive officer (ceo).
Slack direct quotation may have an impact on other big tech companies such as Airbnb Inc., which has been considered by the general public, by means of a similar process, a person familiar with the matter said.
Spotify's immediate entry in the April of 2018, it was seen as a success in its time, with a healthy number of buyers and sellers.
For more than a year later, and Spotify is in stock, it is trading around 15% below the spot where he made his debut as the company sacrifices profit margin for growth.
"Direct deals are still a relatively new car. It's really interesting to see how this evolves," Fiverr International Ltd., Chief Executive Officer and Micha Kaufman said in an interview last week after the Israel-based company that offers an online marketplace for freelance services went with the crowd.
"But it's definitely more appropriate for companies with a increased a larger amount for a longer period of time in the private sector, and its willingness to provide its investors with a value-added, or output."
Factbox: What's Weak?
Revenue for the San Francisco-based Slack has increased by more than 80 percent to a total of $400 million in 2018, however, the reported loss from continuing operations of $143.85 million. It has over 90 million users, but has, so far, only 100,000 paying customers.
"We are in a growth phase right now and we will continue to invest, but we expect to hit break-even cash flow, quickly," CFO, Shim said.
Slack would have been about $800 million in total cash and cash-like current assets and marketable securities, which are issued at the end of April, and has raised about $1.2 billion so far from private investors, according to data provider PitchBook, and the firm's regulatory filing.

How to visit Broadway while staying at home
Broadway might be closed, but you can still experience the magic of the Great White Way from the comfort of your home.
Sophie Thomas
It feels like forever since Broadway productions were playing to a full house. With Broadway theatres closed until at least May 30, 2021, going to a Broadway show is somewhat of a distant dream. But, you don't have to go to the Great White Way to get the full theatre experience. Thanks to the resilience of industry creatives and performers, there's a ton of theatre content that you can access from the comfort of your own home.
Here at New York Theatre Guide, we've scoured the best ways to stay in touch with the theatre world while staying indoors. It'll really feel as if you're on Broadway but at home.
Watch theatre-related films and TV shows
Is your favorite Broadway musical based on a film? Have your favorite stars appeared in television shows? Relive all the forgotten classics from over the years and plan a theatre movie night. Over on Netflix, marvel at the film adaptations of The Boys in the Band and The Prom, with Amazon Prime users are able to experience Golden Age Hollywood with films like 42nd Street and An American in Paris. If you've got Disney+, you can even imagine you're on Broadway and watch Hamilton, starring Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Stream theatre productions to your living room
Although we can't be *at* the theatre right now, streaming alternatives are still giving us the pre curtain-up feels normally experienced in an auditorium. Okay, you may not be able to hear the orchestra warming up, but a plus for streamed shows is you don't have to barge your way through a crowd to take your seat. Instead, you can catch online stream of Broadway shows while sitting on your sofa. Livestreamed shows are announced frequently, so be sure to check New York Theatre Guide for the latest information on upcoming productions.
Purchase theatre streaming networks
Think you've exhausted all your theatre watching options? Impossible. Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, numerous initiatives have come to the forefront and they're all designed to get you watching as much theatre as humanly possible.
Some of our favorites include BroadwayHD, a streaming service that costs just $8.99 per month with shows including Kinky Boots and Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill. New releases are frequently added too; January 2021's offerings include Jersey Boys and British hits like Peter Pan Goes Wrong. Similarly named but not to be confused with the former, Broadway On Demand is another service dedicated to theatre across the United States, with concerts, documentaries and exclusive streams.
Listen to theatre podcasts
Podcasts have become somewhat of a phenomenon in recent years. Just like theatre, podcasts can make us laugh with joy, or cry with overwhelming emotion, but they can also teach us about the world we live in. If you're looking for a theatre lesson or two, or just want to impress your friends when you can eventually meet in person, put your headphones on and listen to some theatrical podcasts. Hamilton fans will love The Hamilcast, a podcast dedicated to Lin-Manuel Miranda's genre-defying production. For Disney lovers, learn more about the magic of Walt Disney with Backstage With Disney Theatrical. Conversations take place with Disney creatives based in London's West End, but each episode offers insight into the arduous process of preparing a show for its opening night.
Stay a part of the conversation
Missing the Broadway buzz? So are we. We can't wait for the moment when theatre returns to New York. It's going to be incredible. Before that, make sure you keep up to date with everything Broadway by reading the latest news. Here at New York Theatre Guide, we're covering all the action taking place across New York theatres. Bookmark this page to stay in the know about everything Broadway, Off-Broadway and beyond.
Donate to theatres
With theatres having had their doors closed for months on end, it's more important than ever that we give back to the community. If you're able to, donate a few dollars to venues across New York City. When shows eventually start again, there'll be even more theatres open; your donation could make all the difference.
Here's some New York theatres and New York companies that you can donate to:
Donate to Atlantic Theater Company
Donate to Carnegie Hall
Donate to Lincoln Center Theater
Donate to Manhattan Theatre Club
Donate to the Metropolitan Opera
Donate to New York City Center
Donate to Playwrights Horizons
Donate to Primary Stages
Donate to Second Stage
Donate to Signature Theatre
Donate to The New Group
