    Briar Woods Theatre!
     

     

    This fall Briar Woods Theatre is optimistically taking our cues from Broadway.  We are hoping to be an up-and-running, functional, ticket-taking facility just as soon as Virginia and Loudoun County authorities deem it possible to do so.  The following is from the New York Times, published June 29th, 2020 and may offer some perspective on the matter. 

     

    Broadway will remain closed for at least the rest of this year, and many shows are signaling that they do not expect a return to the stage until late winter or early spring.

    The Broadway League said Monday that theater owners and producers will refund or exchange tickets previously purchased for shows through Jan. 3. Given the unpredictability of the coronavirus pandemic that has prompted the shuttering of Broadway, the League said it was not yet ready to specify exactly when shows will reopen.

    “Returning productions are currently projected to resume performances over a series of rolling dates in early 2021,” the League said in a statement. Among the logistical issues industry leaders are discussing with government and medical officials: “screening and testing, cleaning and sanitizing, wayfinding inside theaters, backstage protocols and much more.”

    “I’m cautiously optimistic, with the latest information that we’re getting from scientists and medical professionals, that we’re getting close to some protocols that would work in New York and on the road,” Charlotte St. Martin, the League’s president, said in an interview. “As long as they hold up, I do think that after the first of the year, a rolling rollout of shows reopening is possible.”

     
     
     
    As we embark on a new and uncertain year of theatre, I wish to thank you all in advance for being true to BWHS Theatre.  As always, productions are dedicated to all the students, faculty, staff, and families of BWHS who support and believe in the power of the Arts!
