We are cancelling, suspending, or postponing all of the events that we had planned that depend on the usual way of doing things until our state enters Phase III. Specifically:
We have cancelled the rest of our productions and performances for the 2019-2020 season.
We have postponed our Majestic Summer Theatre Adventure Camp’s production of Lion King Jr to Summer 2021.
We have suspended production of our three Fall Majestic Community Theatre shows, William Shakespeare’s Wars of the Roses, It Can’t Happen Here, and Elf the Musical.
We are suspending our Play Reading Committee and proposal process for the 2021-2022 season as we already have enough shows that have been postponed to fill that season.
We have suspended or postponed all of the typical productions and performances that we had planned thru January 1st, 2021.
We will be working with our instructors, renters, and group leaders to see what classes, activities, and meetings are possible within physical distancing and ReOpen Oregon restrictions during Phase II.
So, we are doing all of this with the caveat that this is a dynamic situation. Life looked very different a month ago. Two months ago, we lived in what seems like a completely different world. We don’t know what the next eight months will hold, but our commitment will be to serve our community as best we can while keeping everyone safe. As such, we will be constantly evaluating and adjusting our plans and practices as we move forward.
