"Each of these shows is uniquely theatrical and celebrates the importance of sharing our stories to better appreciate our common humanity."

"At the same time, I want to affirm that the safety of our patrons, artists, and staff is and will remain our primary concern as the Covid-19 pandemic continues," Daigneault added. "We promise to keep our community informed every step of the way as we work for their safe return to our theatre."
