We Can’t Wait to see You in 2021! Update to Century Church Theatre patrons (October 2020)
These past months have been challenging for all of us as we confront the impact of COVID-19 especially as it pertains to the operation of local community theatres. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you – our loyal audience members – for all the support and patience you have shown us as we work through these most difficult times. Our Board of Directors from the Erin Arts Foundation continue to prioritize the health and well-being of our membership and our audience members. Delaying our return until the start of the new year in 2021 will effectively afford us the necessary time required to ensure all health and safety protocols and measures are in place for the anticipated return of live theatre here at Century Church Theatre in the new year.
The current season here at Century Church Theatre will tentatively be adjusted as follows (in keeping with current COVID-19 restrictions):
- The Fall show The 39 Steps, the Pantomime Dick Whittington and His Cat, The Muir Family and Bob Milne concerts are postponed now until the Fall of 2021
- We plan to open again with the suspenseful thriller – To Die For in March 2021, followed by the hilarious comedy – Jack Of Diamonds in May 2021
- We will communicate any changes to this schedule, should they become necessary, to our patrons via our website and database. We encourage you to share this information with friends and family who may not have access to email or the Internet.
The Box Office will also remain open in the meantime to assist you in planning for our upcoming productions…we can be reached at (519) 855-4586 from 9:00-9:00 each day. We thank you once again for your ongoing support of the Arts and your understanding and patience in the days and months ahead as we diligently work “behind-the-scenes” to ensure the safe return of live theatre performances here at Century Church Theatre for audience members like you!
