Dear Hamilton-Gibson Family,

 

Whew! We've all been through a lot these past days as we are forced to make decisions that we wish we didn't have to make. In the midst of all of the uncertainty, I've been heartened by the many encouragements that I've heard, the reminders of hope, and the help that the arts can be in such times. I've been buoyed by the wonderful times of rehearsal for our scheduled upcoming production ALMOST, MAINE—a creative process that never fails to enrich.

 

Hamilton-Gibson Productions is a community-based organization and we all can celebrate just what that means in a crisis such as this. Community is what holds us together and moves us forward. We are committed to the safety of our patrons, cast, crew, volunteers, and staff, and because of this we are following the guidelines that have been established. 

 

All HG Children/Youth Choir rehearsals are canceled until further notice.

The HG Choir Performance Tour set for April 30-May 3 has been canceled. 

ACTING UP—our Tuesday creative theatre experiences for seniors—is canceled until further notice. 

Our Shaw Festival trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake in early May has been canceled. 

Our production of ALMOST, MAINE—set to open on March 27—is postponed until a later date. 

Our Comedy Club evening, set for April 18, and MY WAY, set for late May will be evaluated as we get closer.

 

We are hoping we can proceed with as much of our programming as we possibly can, but will make all decisions for the rest of our 2020/30^th Season based on the safety of our community and in compliance with the governmental guidelines.

 

Please remember that Hamilton-Gibson Productions is a not-for-profit, which means we rely heavily on our ticket sales of each show and the sponsorship of each production in order to continue producing each season. If you have not had the opportunity to respond to our annual financial appeal, please consider doing so during this lean time. Our office will operate on a lighter schedule but we will return phone calls and emails as soon as we are able. 

 

We thank you for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time.

We look forward to seeing you soon. 

 

All the best,

Thomas Putnam
