During the Covid shutdown and for a few years afterward, City Lights produced regular Zoom programming showcasing our wonderful artists. While we were all sheltering in place, we hosted actors, musicians, designers, dancers and other creative friends. Later, we offered Zoom talkbacks for our mainstage shows. Today, we focus on our in-person events, and we hope you’ll join us at the theater. In the meantime, we have years of recorded Zoom broadcasts for your viewing pleasure!
Watch each video via City Lights’ YouTube in the windows below.
