Dear T1 Family,

We work everyday to ensure a safe, brave space to share stories. With COVID-19 and its ramifications in mind, we are announcing the cancellation of our final production of the season, Jeffrey Lo’s ‘I Thought I Would Like It Here’ as well as our ‘Future Tense’ development festival, effectively bringing TheatreFIRST’s 2019-20 Season to an early close.

So what now? Well, we aren’t going anywhere. TheatreFIRST is busy planning our return this Fall to our newly renovated home at Live Oak Theater with a season that continues our promise of presenting the boldest stories. Meanwhile, we will continue to develop our many works-in-progress and look for unique ways of sharing their journeys with you. We’ll do what we do best: reimagine the creation of space to reflect the needs of the present moment. With so much uncertainty in the world, we need theatre more than ever.

What can you do to support, you ask?

If you are in the position to do so, please donate to us.

If you have bought a ticket to an upcoming event or are a subscriber, please consider providing vital support by donating the tickets back to us. By e-mailing boxoffice@theatrefirst.com, we can send you a donation receipt or, of course, set up a refund.

So stay tuned. Stay safe but be brave. Don’t underestimate our collective ability to face heavy uncertainties with rigorous creativity. We will be with you every step of the way.

With gratitude and solidarity,

Jon and Everyone at T1
