2020/2021 Season – UPDATED APR 20, 2020
Dear Friends of Langham,
If we set out to write a play that followed the story line of this past six months at Langham Court Theatre, we’re not sure what genre it would be or if anyone would actually believe it! We had extreme winter weather, causing performance cancellations of Company; exceptional circumstances, causing an entire show replacement of The Blue Light with I and You; and then, wait for it… a worldwide pandemic, causing us to suspend the last two shows of our 2019-2020 season, Silent Sky and Mambo Italiano. There were many days this season when I thought, it can’t get harder than today, only to wake up and find that indeed it could.
So here we are again updating you. As of April 22, 2020, we have decided to officially call an end to our 2019-2020 Season. The decision has also been made to have Silent Sky and Mambo Italiano part of our 2020-2021 Season, but beyond that we are waiting until June to announce anything further, as we hope to know more at that time.
Watch this message from Michelle Mitchell (LCTS Board President), Alan Penty (Production Chair 2018 – 2020), Jon Scheer (Production Chair 2020 – 2022) and Michelle Buck (General Manager):
2020/2021 Season confirmation postponed until June 2020
