A Statement from ATC:
Tuesday 17th March 2020
As many of you are probably aware, the government held a press conference yesterday afternoon where they announced that they were recommending a ban on social gatherings as well as 'theatre' in general in an effort to combat Coronavirus (COVID-19). The Avocet Theatre Company committee has therefore decided to make the very difficult decision to postpone our upcoming production of Robin Hood in these very uncertain times. This also means that rehearsals are cancelled until further notice.
This decision was not taken lightly. The health of all of our members and volunteers is, first and foremost, the most important consideration we have to make. Luckily, with regards to the production, we are at a very early stage in our rehearsal process. With the situation changing almost daily and, with even professional theatres going dark, we would rather make this decision sooner rather than later.
Rest assured, the ATC Committee will now make it our priority to reschedule the show for as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we will be thinking of fun, safe and productive ways to support each other and the local community during this tough time! This includes looking into the possibility of live streaming concerts to care homes as well as creating fun video adverts to support local businesses who will be hit hardest in these tough times. We will keep you informed of these plans and we encourage you to share your own ideas with us!
I am sure many of you are as disappointed as we are but I hope that you understand and support this decision. We will do whatever we can to make sure Robin Hood rides again as soon as possible!
If you have any concerns or questions, then please do not hesitate to contact us. Please stay safe and look after each other.
