• Live Theater 
  Ok, theaters might still be closed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t catch a play or spend time with your favorite Broadway stars. Find what famous stage stars and live events are on tap by visiting the Timeout New York website.  
• Murder Mysteries 
  Social isolation driving you a little stir crazy? Feel like committing a crime? Then you might be ready to virtually host a murder mystery party for your family and friends.  Red Herring Games stock a range of interactive, online murder mystery games perfect for Zoom, House Party, Google Hangouts or Facebook Messenger. 
• Drive-In Theaters 
  When was the last time you considered going to a Drive-In Theater to see a movie? Truth is, if you’re under the age of 40, there’s a decent chance you’ve never even been to a Drive-In! That might be about to change, with Drive-Ins quickly becoming the safe, isolated way to catch a movie on the really big screen. Here’s a link to Drive-In Movies.com to help you find a movie screen near you. 

Sure, our options might be limited right now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still find new ways to escape, unwind and enjoy. Stay well.
