WHAT IS VIRTUAL ENTERTAINMENT?
Virtual entertainment is a show that is performed remotely and can be accessed with a laptop
computer, desktop computer, tablet or smartphone. This type of entertainment can be viewed at
home or in separate rooms, important factors in this era of social distancing.
WHAT'S AVAILABLE?
There are two options:
Live Zoom concerts
This is a live performance that is
transmitted to your device via Zoom, an
interactive meeting program.
Concert videos
The concert video is a pre-recorded show
that simulates a live performance. It is
viewed on the Internet via YouTube or on
local cable access.
Howie's musical baseball show on Zoom was an engaging, educational, and fun
program. He kept things interesting with trivia, music and images. Well done!

"Howie’s Music for Seniors video was a welcome bit of fun. Keeping with
social distancing guidelines, we played the concert floor-to-floor on a
rolling TV. Residents loved the classic songs and some even sang along."

Typical fees are $150 for each video and $200 for a live Zoom show.
This is negotiable. If you have a small facility and/or a limited budget, I'll work with you on a
mutually agreeable price. You can also partner with local organizations, senior centers, libraries
and cable access stations to share costs.

I have a strong background in journalism and public relations so I can help publicize the event (at
no additional cost) with photos and press releases.
