More local venues canceling and rescheduling performances to help patrons avoid crowds

Performances and other entertainment offerings are being canceled or postponed throughout Central Virginia for the rest of March to help people avoid possible contact with the COVID-19 coronavirus. Many events already are in the process of being rescheduled.
