Cloud Cult
Friday: They were supposed to play one of the poshest music rooms in the state, Orchestra Hall, last month with the Minnesota Orchestra, but until those shows can be rescheduled, Craig Minowa and his arty orchestral-rock bandmates will have to make do performing together virtually from their respective living rooms. One of several prominent local acts to start Patreon subscription services, which cost as little as $3/month, they have new songs to debut in this one-night-only webcast concert along with their many older, hopeful, Zen-seeking favorites that are well-suited for these times. (8 p.m. Fri., patreon.com/cloudcult.)

'Mixtape: Won't You Be My Neighbor'
Tuesday: In March, Wayward Theatre was forced to postpone its Alfred Hitchcock parody, "The 39 Steps." But the artists from Wayward regrouped virtually and came up with a plan to bring theater to Twin Cities audiences. Next up, Wayward presents an online version of its ongoing storytelling series, "Mixtape: Won't You Be My Neighbor," featuring stories about the people who live closest to us. It's free, but donations to a different arts nonprofit, Interact Center for Visual and Performing Arts, are requested. (8 p.m. Tue., facebook.com/WaywardTheatreCo.)
