COVID-19 Update

Theatre Huntsville Friends, Patrons, and Volunteers,

We at Theatre Huntsville have closely followed COVID-19 news and guidance from the CDC, the State of Alabama, and local organizations in regard to the appropriate response to the pandemic. Our priority is the safety and health of our theatre community. TH and the VBC have thus far followed all CDC recommendations regarding cleaning and hygiene during our approved events attended by fewer than 250 people.

However, as of now, the CDC is recommending all events with 50 or more people be cancelled. Based on that recommendation, we have made the decision to cancel remaining performances of Silent Sky, and postpone the upcoming auditions for On Golden Pond. Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, our administrative offices at Lowe Mill will also be closed as Lowe Mill is now closed to the public.

If you have tickets to Silent Sky, we can offer you flex tickets to a future show or we can process a refund. You may also consider donating the cost of your ticket to help Theatre Huntsville weather this crisis. Please email us at tickets@theatrehsv.org or call us at 256-536-0807 if you would like to take one of these options.

Please understand that we didn’t make this decision lightly. In the end, we felt it in the best interest of our theatre family to err on the side of caution. I read this on a friend’s Facebook page and I think it sums things up pretty well: “In the end, it will be impossible to know if we overreacted or did too much, but it will be quite apparent if we under-reacted or did too little.”

We don't know what the next few weeks will hold or how future productions will be affected. We will keep you up to date as the current situation unfolds via email and social media.

Thank you for your patience and support. We will all overcome these challenges and continue to create great theatre for our community. Looking forward to seeing all of you again soon!

Sincerely,

Leslie Gates

Executive Director
