While many events in and around Fort Worth have either been postponed or canceled during the coronavirus pandemic, organizations have pivoted to virtual or socially-distanced events to continue offering the masses some entertainment while we need it the most.
Below are the best ways to spend your free time this weekend. While not every event is out of the house, they all promise to provide a nice distraction from the everyday life.

Jubilee Theatre presents Hoodoo Love
Katori Hall's Hoodoo Love is a tale of love, magic, jealousy, and secrets. Toulou escapes the Depression-era Mississippi cotton fields with the wide eyes dreams of becoming a blues singer.

The production will be available to stream at any time through February 28.
