The show must go on…until that is literally not possible anymore, and thus is the case for the Twin City Players who dispatched this message this morning to community theater fans across the region:
With heavy hearts the Twin City Players announces the cancellation of the remainder of its 2019 – 2020 season in light of COVID-19. The decision comes following federal, state and CDC recommendations to reduce social gatherings in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19. TCP Board President Kraig Kirkdorfer says, “While this is a difficult decision, it comes out of our commitment to put the health and safety of our patrons, staff and members first.”
The cancellation includes:
- The Women of Lockerbie: March 20th – April 5th
- Fun Home: June 5th – June 28th
TCP is in the process of contacting ticket holders and season flex pass holders.
TCP is a 501(c)3 non-profit, and the financial loss due to these cancellations is substantial for the organization. If possible, TCP encourages patrons to consider donating the cost of their canceled tickets/passes. Donations are tax deductible and will help to ensure TCP can continue to provide arts programming in the future.
TCP appreciates the support and patience of patrons and donors, as well as sponsors and community partners in light of this difficult decision.
They continue to plan for our 2020-21 season, slated to open in September, and hope everyone will join in for their 88th year.
The Twin City Players’ 2019-2020 Mainstage Season Sponsors include:
- Indiana Michigan Power/Cook Plant
- Lake Michigan Chiropractic LLC.
- The Herald Palladium
- The Boulevard Inn & Bistro
- Meijer
- TPC Technologies, Inc.
Show Sponsors for The Women of Lockerbie are Stevensville Family Dentistry and Rolfe Jenkins.
