All the Live Art I Witnessed in 2021

Well, it took more than a year, but I finally got the chance to start going to live events again. Still just concerts, though. So while I am eternally grateful for the opportunity and the renewal of this part of my life, I long for a fuller return, when I am back to seeing a play or two, a comedy show or three, and maybe an art exhibition, too. I’ve missed it all.
