LOS ANGELES, April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BritWeek In House, the revitalized annual celebration recognizing creativity and innovation between the United Kingdom and United States, is extending its online performances one more day due to popular demand.
In response to the worldwide lockdown, BritWeek is hosting a series of online events which launched Saturday April 25, 2020 and is now extended through Saturday, May 2, 2020.
"Every day at 10 a.m. PDT, viewers can tune in and engage in dynamic performances in dance, music, theatre and conversations with some of the world's most iconic artists and innovators," said Nigel Daly OBE, Chairman of BritWeek.
