CLOSURE
Following a six-month hiatus, Clarkesville's oldest professional theatre is slated to begin a phased reopening this September with a host of movie favourites in the Roxy Regional Theatre;s popular Platers Bank Presents... film series.
The Roxy Regional Theatre theatre went dark in mid-March before being able to open its production of A Streetcar Name Desire, due to recommendations from state and local officals regarding the escalating ACOVID-19 pandemic and in the interests of safety of patrons, performers and staff. As the world remains in the midst of a global pandemic, with cases continuing to rise in the community, live professional theatre will not return to the corner of Franklin and Firstr until January 2021.
Roxy Regional Director Ryan Bowie admits this was not an easy decision to make. :I weighed several different options while looking at national trends, the opinions of our patrons and sponsors, the recommendations of our local government and the voices of our professional talent from all over the country. But I will say that when we are able to present live professiona; theatre once again in January, what a special time it will be - and I hope you will join us."
The Planters Bank Presents... Film series will return oin Friday evenings atr 7pm, from SDeptember 11 to December 18. Tickets to each movie in the series are $5 per person (pluus ticketing fees) and are currentley available online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org/filmseries

Aurora Theatre
ADVISES THAT OWING TO THE cORONAVIRUS LOOT, tHE rULER and sEX WITH sTRANGERS HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
Loot
Pktheatre.com has been advised by John Costello of Aurora Theatre that because of the coronavirus the production of Loot has been chancelled.
As the company has leardned in the past couple of weeks - with increasing intesity in the last few days - social distancing is key to slowing the spread of the virus and thus preventing the healthcare system from being overwhelmed. Thursday mortning, Governor Newsom announced a recommended ban on gatherings of over 250 people and that smaller gatherings - such as Aurireas performences - should allow six feet space between participants. That is not possible in Aurora's intimate space.
As with many organizations, this change of plans will affect the Aurora community in many different ways. Our artists will have less work, which makes it even more difficult to meet expenses in the Bay Area. Aurora will have less income from ticketr sales. While Aurora can cut back some expenses, out margind - like all non-profit theatres - are so slim that this is going to at the very least burn through any funds Aurora have and may impact our future plans.Josh
Josh
and Julia have decided that a s leaders of
Aurora they ill reduce their opwn pay for the duration of this crisis.
Aurora makes the challenging decision to cancel the production of Loot forthe sake of the larger community, they hope that those who are able to support us in return, as one part pf the community. While they consider offering refunds for subscribers and other ticket-holders, Josh asks that you consider donating your ticket to Loot back to Aurora instead of asking for a refund. If enough of Aurora;s audience does this, it will go a long way towards helping Aurora mitigate the increased challenge they are now facing. If you are in a position top make an additional; donation, that of course will be particularly welcome right now.
Ticket holders, if our box office does not hear from you in the nect two weeks we will contact you to ask if you would conate your ticket back or if you prefer a refund. Aurora's box office number is 510 843 4822 and they are open Tuesday through Fricay from 1pm to 5pm. You can also send an email with your information to boxoffice@auroratheatre.org. Please do be patient as we expect high call volume during this time.
Josh has great hope and strong expectations that the measures so many organizations are adopting will slow the spread and save lives - and that Aurora and other arts organizations will be ablet to reopen soon and continue serving as a vital fuction as storytellers for the community. The announcement of the 2020-2021 Season is coming very soon, and even as Josh mourns the cancellation of Loot he looks forward to a remarkable future for Aurora>
Thank you so much for your patience, uindetstanding , and support in this difficult time.
