As we all know, COVID has been incredibly disruptive to the theatre world – a single positive case within the cast or crew of a production can lead to multiple cancelled performances, significant lost revenue and enormous additional costs to bring in covering company members. Your support in navigating this difficult time is deeply appreciated.
The health and safety of our audiences, artists, and staff is our top priority. We will continue working closely with our government partners and safety advisors to safely welcome you back to live performances at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts.
For the safety of all, patrons who are not feeling well or who have have come in contact with someone with COVID-19, are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive for COVID-19, must not come to the theatre. Ticket exchanges are free of charge. We count on your proactive participation in this important preventative measure.
