- Master Pancake Theater Screenings
Friday and Saturday, May 29 and 30 | 8 p.m. | Hosted by: Master Pancake Theater
Our favorite irreverent comics are back at it with their hilarious movie commentary, and you can tune in twice this weekend to make fun of your favorites.

Through Sunday, May 31 | at 6 p.m. | Hosted by: SIMS Foundation
May is #MentalHealthMonth. In this historical moment, with the cancellation of most paying work within our industry, coupled with the resulting anxiety and uncertainty, the need for accessible mental health and substance use recovery services and supports for the music community has never been greater. To raise mental health awareness and celebrate music’s ability to bring us together, SIMS is opening up our lounge (virtually of course) throughout the month of May! Watch at: The SIMS Foundation on FB Live, the SIMS Foundation YouTube channel or the artist’s Instagram page. Text SIMS to 44321 to donate during #SofaSessions live streams. Tips are split 50/50 between SIMS and the artists. - Virtual “Hoppy” Hour Program
Saturday, May 30 | 9 a.m. | Hosted by: Tiny Tails to You Traveling Petting Zoo
