From Shawn Farquhar's December 20th Facebook post:
I'm working New Year's Eve... wonders never cease!
Tickets available at:
https://togo.magiccastle.com/.../12-31-20-virtual-magic-show
I think afterwards we might just open up a Zoom Meeting for people to hang out and visit until 2020 ends... what do you all think?
It seems that calling this period The Great Pause is a huge inaccuracy for a people like Shawn Farquhar! Here are a few of the places you can catch him in the next month or so:

From the December 10th Instagam post by Michael Kras:
So very excited to announce that I will officially be the Playwright-in-Residence at @ectheatre for 2021!
ECT means a lot to me - they programmed and produced the world premiere of my play The Team last year - and I'm beyond excited to spend the next year developing and workshopping a brand new play with them.
Thank you to ECT for having me, and thank you to the @ontarioartscouncil for supporting this residency. I can't wait!

CAN’T BELIEVE I DID IT!! 10 years ago I created a YouTube account and posted 1 video every single day for the entire year. After those 365 videos I had ENOUGH with YouTube so I left it for many years. I started posting again in 2020 and Today YouTube sent me a little something to commemorate my 100k subscribers! I’m blown away!
