Hey Christine,
Thanks for reaching out! I’m sorry to bear the fact that this is unfortunately not possible by any means default to our plugins. In other words: you could technically do this, of course, but it would require custom code.
While we don’t offer any support for custom code, we do have a knowledgebase article that covers the process of making custom Events Calendar templates, which is the foundation for many other customization ideas including your own → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/
We also have a list of highly-rated developers for hire here, if you need to hire someone to help realize these customizations → http://m.tri.be/18k1
I’m sorry to disappoint! Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Sincerely,
George
