Hi Laurel,
Sure, you can do this. You’d need to modify the list view to accomplish this. Make a copy of /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/list.php and place in an ‘events’ folder in your theme. Then find lines 31-39 – there is various conditional logic here used to determine how to display the start/end dates for events and whether or not to group this for events that are on the same day. Use that code for reference to create whatever you want to but an easy modification to get what you want might be to remove those lines – 31-39 – and then replace with:
That will display the start date for all the events in the list.
Does that help?
