Here are a few of the best events happening today and how to tune in (all times are E.S.T.). Updated daily.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s One-Woman Show
Now on Amazon Prime Video
I have a friend who’s watched Season 2 of “Fleabag” in its entirety three times since social distancing. If you, like her, can’t get enough of Phoebe Waller-Bridge during these tough times, you’re in luck. Waller-Bridge, the star and creator of the Emmy-winning series, made her original one-woman stage show of the same name (which the Emmy-winning television show is based on), available to stream now. The download costs $5, which, minus taxes, will be donated to charities responding to the coronavirus pandemic.
When: The show will be available to download for two weeks.
Where: On Amazon Prime Video in the United States and Britain, as well as on Soho Theatre on Demand in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
A Springtime Garden Stroll
Now on the Brooklyn Botanic Garden website
Most of us may be cooped up inside, but spring is not canceled. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is bringing the beauty of the season inside with a virtual nature walk through its blooming Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden. Watch and listen for wildlife as the garden’s weeping Higan cherry trees sway in the wind along the pond, and follow the path of camellias, artfully pruned pine trees and fiddlehead ferns. The 18-minute video was captured in a way intended to recreate the meditative experience of walking through the garden on an early spring day.
When: Now
Where: The production, which premiered Sunday afternoon on the garden’s Facebook page, is available on the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s website.
