THE SHOWS WILL GO ON….eventually

Since the Pandemic we have adjusted, changed and rearranged shows, dates and auditions multiple times. With the future still unsure, the Board of Directors has made the decision to postpone the 42nd Season until March 2021.

When we are confident that we can proceed, without change, we will announce the season and its dates.

If the State lifts enough restrictions to offer our patrons and artists a rewarding theatrical experience we will schedule a variety of performance opportunities in the fall.

Please visit our website: middletownlyric.org or our Facebook page for information as it becomes available.

Season Update due to Coronavirus:

As we write this, we could have never imagined being at a place where the “trickle-down” effect would be in full motion. Recently we canceled our production of TWELFTH NIGHT. With the financial loss of that show, it set in motion the uncertainty of being able to produce the next show, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST.

So by the time two shows have been canceled and or postponed there is no hope for a musical and so IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU is but a dream.

While needing to cancel one show can be horrible the need to cancel half your season is mind-numbing. As we locked the doors to MLT we had a lot on our minds and at the forefront was, when will we open those doors again?

We believe, we hope, that Middletown and those that have always supported this organization will do whatever needs to be done, to ensure that the doors re-open on the 42nd. Season. There are still decisions to be made and we will keep you updated.

If you are a SEASON TICKET holder we will soon be sending you a letter explaining all of your options. In the meantime, if you have any questions and or comments please do not hesitate to contact us.

We thank you all for your patience and understanding through this difficult time. We hope that you are healthy and we see you once this is all over.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

ALL PERFORMANCES of TWELFTH NIGHT have been cancelled.

We hung on as long as we could. But with the newest mandate from the Governor and recommendations from the CDC, we must CLOSE.

We know this is a loss for everyone involved in the show, as well as our patrons. We thank everyone for their support. More information about the future forthcoming.
