TIC’s PREVIOUS COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENTS

Theatre in the Country COVID-19 Response & Show Postponements (As of April 2nd, 2020)

It is with a sad heart that Theatre in the Country must announce that we will be postponing all events, shows and rehearsals until further notice as we await updates on group gatherings from our health and safety officials.

Please note that the remaining 4 shows of our 2020 Season  will go forward as planned as soon as it is deemed safe to do so.

(Dinner with Friends, Catch Me If  You Can – The Musical, The Odd Couple – Female Version & Holiday Inn) 

If this means extending these shows into 2021 then we will make that accommodation as well. 

We thank you for your patience and understanding during these complicated times.  

From all of us at TIC we wish you and yours health and peace.

We want to thank our fantastic patrons for their ongoing support of our theatre company and likewise our performers, tech team, ushers and catering staff, who all were in rehearsals and preparations for our upcoming shows.

Like all performance spaces we will be following the mandates and guidelines coming from health and government officials to keep our patrons and participants safe.

Please Note:

> All tickets,Season Passes and bookings will be honoured when the theatre re-opens.

> Current ticket holders will be contacted for priority and advanced booking as soon as new show dates are finalized.

> Your tickets will automatically be transferred to the matching new date from your original ticket (ie: if you booked a ticket on the Opening Friday night, then you will be book in the same seat for the Opening Friday of the new show dates).  HOWEVER, if that date no longer works for you then you will be given opportunity to choose a new date and seats before the show is made available to the public.

Please know that we deeply appreciate your patience during these uncertain times. We look forward to having you back with us as soon as the Covid-19 Crisis has passed, and we can start to enjoy theatre together again.

 

BOX OFFICE

We will be checking the box office email (boxoffice@theatreinthecountry.com) and phone messages (604-259-9737) regularly throughout the shut down.
