Corona Virus Update

24/6/2020

0 Comments

 
This week the groups committee took the reluctant decision to cancel attempts to stage a production in November 2020. It may seem that we have acted too soon, perhaps we could have waited a while to see how restrictions and infection rates alter over the coming weeks or months. However, the reality is that to stage a production in November we have to commit to that production by mid July at the very latest because there is so much preparation required to get a show staged.

We took into account a number of factors:
  • Uncertainty about theatres being opened to stage live shows
  • Uncertainty about restrictions that will be in place during the rehearsal period
  • The risk of an autumn or winter infections spike and the reintroduction of restrictions
  • Risk factors for vulnerable members of our audience
  • Risk factors for vulnerable members of our group during rehearsals and performances
  • Financial risks if the show had to be cancelled or it was not well supported - insurance does not cover cancellations or losses for Corona Virus.
The committee felt the risk factors were too high and could not be confidently mitigated.

We already have plans to stage a show in April 2021, news on this will follow.
