The Coronavirus situation is taking its toll on our Off West End Theatre community. The latest updates are coming thick and fast so this page will be updated on a regular basis as news comes to hand. Watch this space!
Last week Broadway theatres announced that they would close for a month to help deal with the developing Coronavirus crisis. Off West End Theatres are also dealing with the developing situation so we have established this page to update audiences as news comes to hand. The page will be updated regularly so keep checking back.
We’d like to take this opportunity to wish all our friends onstage and off all the very best, you are in our thoughts and have our never-ending support. Stay well and we look forward to seeing you all on stage soon.
