With venues across Minnesota closed by the coronavirus pandemic, artists and organizations have turned to the internet to connect with audiences. The Star Tribune will run this calendar each week. To submit items for consideration, e-mail events@startribune.com.

Novel Stages

Saturday: Novel Stages bills itself as a streaming arts festival of sorts, with 16 acts offering 30-minute (mostly prerecorded) sets over eight hours on Saturday. Many of the participants have Minnesota connections, including the opening act, Her Crooked Heart, and the final performer, soul man Cameron Kinghorn. Among the other artists are the Mark Morris Dance Group and tap dancer Kaleena Miller as well as musicians Haley, Humbird and Eric Mayson. (2-10 p.m. Sat., novelstages.com. Admission is $30 at bit.ly/34yXAPZ.) JON BREAM

Walker's Free First Saturday at Home

Saturday: The Walker Art Center hosts its first-ever online Free First Saturday for families, designed especially for at-home artmaking. Kids will learn how to make marbled paper, create their own "mirror party" with pictures friends and family, sing along with artist Kashimana, and jam out to dance videos in Spanish or English. Come prepared with art supplies such as paper, tape, scissors, cardboard covered in aluminum foil, shaving cream, paint, and a shoe box. More suggestions are on the Walker's website. (10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sat., walkerart.org.) ALICIA ELER

'The Diary of Anne Frank'

Ongoing: The show must go on, or go online as the case may be. Park Square Theatre was unable to hold its 21st production of "The Diary of Anne Frank" for 12,000 middle and high school students this year. Instead, the company rallied to create a Zoom version of the show, with each actor performing from their own home. Directed by Ellen Fenster, the production captures the urgency of Frank's story, as told through Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett's Pulitzer-winning script. It also illuminates the experience of isolation, which feels particularly resonant right now. Park Square's website hosts a prerecorded video presentation, viewable in either act-length or scene-length sections. (Through May 15. Free, donations encouraged, parksquaretheatre­.org.)
