Alumnae Theatre Company
COVID-19 NOTICE
March 27, 2020
Over the course of the past 2 weeks, we have been closely monitoring the evolution of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and the recommendations of public health authorities as well as our federal, provincial, and municipal governments.
As a result of all of the new requirements and recommendations that have come forward this week, Alumnae Theatre Company has now made the decision to cancel or indefinitely postpone the final production of our mainstage season In the Next Room (or the Vibrator Play) by Sarah Ruhl originally scheduled from April 17 – May 2, 2020, in addition to our previous cancellation of the final two weeks of the New Ideas Festival in mid-March. These heartbreaking decisions were not ones that we came to lightly, but the health and wellbeing of our audiences, artists, staff and volunteers is always our top priority. If you have tickets to a cancelled performance, you will be contacted by our Administrative Coordinator. Please see our ticket policy below.
We are also suspending all live activities at the theatre for the next two months until the end of May 2020, subject to instructions from Public Health authorities to determine when to resume our normal activities in order to prioritize the safety of our patrons, artists and volunteers. During this time Alumnae Theatre members are actively exploring alternative online ways to practice our craft and reach our audiences. Please check back on our website for updates.
We would like to thank all of the artists, production crews, and volunteers whose hard work and dedication have been affected by these measures. We are saddened that the vision, design, stories and performances from the entirety of our artistic teams will not see the stage this season and hope to find some way to bring these to the stage in future.
Thank you for your understanding. Be well, stay safe and we hope to see you soon.
