A Timeline of Canceled Performances in the Wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic

March 19, 2020

On this week’s episode of The Dance Edit Podcast, we said it would be nearly impossible to give you a full rundown of the performance cancellations that have been announced in the wake of the coronavirus. With that in mind, we still wanted to present a list that can hint at the scope of the impact this pandemic is having on our community, if only for the historical record.

This is by no means a complete timeline, and by its very nature will likely remain incomplete. But if you canceled or postponed a show, or otherwise know of a canceled professional production not listed below, send me an email at [email protected].

In the meantime, check here for a list of performances that have been made available to watch online, and here for the most up-to-date list of resources.
