Unsurprisingly, the arts are the thing that’s making everything bearable right now. People are giving their gifts to the world for free, streaming them online, and we’re eating it up like we need it to live.

Which, honestly, I think we do.

Broadway, like every other place where hundreds of people gather together in person, is temporarily closed. It turns out that doesn’t mean you have to miss your favorite shows, though!

BroadwayHD, a theatre streaming service, has been bringing shows into people’s homes since 2015. Normally, it costs $8.99 a month or $99.99 for a year of shows – but for now, you can have a week’s trial for free.

They feature shows from Broadway, the West End, and many other venues in between and offer a huge roster of productions that include Cats, The Sound of Music, and The King and I.

"She Loves Me" is now streaming at BroadwayHD

A post shared by CultureSonar (@culturesonarpix) on Sep 14, 2017 at 12:30pm PDT

They’ve got a library of 300 shows, actually, and are also curating playlists for those who love the song and dance numbers more than the shows in their entireties (think a list of Sondheim’s best of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s brilliance, all in one place).

There’s definitely something for everyone – or at least, for everyone who loves theatre. You can squeeze as many performances into a free week as possible (then use your husband’s email address to do it again!) or you can choose one of their payment plans to keep it going.

I know this is definitely the way I’m going to be killing some time!

What’s your favorite show? Is it available? I’m sure you’re checking right now!

It’s practically a full-time job trying to keep kids entertained (or at least it sure feels that way sometimes).

Adding to that challenge is the fact that doctors want parents to limit their children’s screen time — TV, movies, online videos, video games, etc. — to curb some of the negative effects of consuming too much media.

Good news for harried parents out there: you can now download 110 Sesame Street e-books for free!

The e-books are available as part of the Sesame Workshop’s “Caring for Each Other” initiative, which aims to help kids and families stay active and healthy with more time at home on their hands.

The free e-books are available for a wide array of devices: Apple, Google Play, Nook, Kobo and Amazon.

Titles like “All Tucked in on Sesame Street” and “Sleep Tight” make perfect bedtime stories, while others like “Elmo Visits the Dentist” can help teach children important lessons about the world around them. There are even e-books available in Spanish.

More than 100 eBooks translates to hours and hours of reading for children, which means Sesame Street made parents’ lives a whole lot easier for the time being.

What’s more, Sesame Street is offering a whole host of other helpful tools and resources for parents, including activity and coloring pages, tip sheets for talking to kids about complicated topics and educational games that cover topics like handwashing.

What was your favorite book growing up? How about your fave Sesame Street character?

Let us know both in the comments!

Let’s play a game…

You’re given the choice between being deserted on an island with a group of people…or a group of dogs… what do you do?

11. Gonna be the best day ever!

12. They’re both enjoying this time.

I’ve loaned my ancient terrier to my dad as a #SupportDog during #SelfIsolation. He doesn’t need walks any more – just a garden, love and a lap. I miss him terribly, but this picture made me so happy pic.twitter.com/3zCpki0xq4
