To BCT Patrons and Performers:
As you may be aware, public health guidelines are rapidly evolving surrounding how to best contain the spread of the COVID-19/Coronavirus. New recommendations today from the Centers for Disease Control recommend that gatherings of 50 people or more should be cancelled or postponed, which has prompted the BCT Board of Directors to decide to stop all rehearsals and production of future shows effective immediately.
We are postponing our productions currently in rehearsal and those we have scheduled for auditions in the next few months. We hope to reschedule these productions for future times when the environment and information about COVID-19 allows us to do so with more certainty that our performers and audiences can again enjoy performing and watching theatre in a safe environment.
While we are grateful that this very difficult, but necessary, decision will not jeopardize any jobs because we are an all-volunteer theatre company, we are saddened that the talented artists who are currently preparing our next shows will be sidelined for a time. For BCT Season Pass holders, we will make sure that the remaining shows purchased on your BCT pass will be made whole as soon as we are able to resume.
The BCT Board of Directors will continue to meet to determine how to meet our financial obligations for the next few months while the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve. We so appreciate your continued support of BCT and look forward to continuing to produce quality shows again in the near future.
For questions, please contact our Executive Director Jan Hefner at executive@bctstage.org.
