ALL PRODUCTIONS POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

March 16, 2020

In keeping with the recommendations from the CDC, the Coronavirus Task Force, and the City of Key West, the Red Barn Theatre Board feels it prudent and necessary to postpone all remaining productions of our 40th Anniversary Season, beginning immediately.

We have not made this decision lightly. The amazing amount of hard work on the part of our actors, directors, stage crew, and support staff is second to none in our theatrical community, and we know how important it is to each and every one of them that we bring you the best theatrical entertainment possible. To put in the time and effort and then not be able to offer to you, our audiences, is particularly painful.

But we also have an obligation to those cast and crew, and to all of you, our loyal customers old and new, to do whatever we can in this time of crisis to make sure we are not part of the problem, but are contributing to the solution. Because our beautiful little theater is so intimate and close — part of the charm that has made it a cornerstone of professional theater in Key West and up the Keys for forty continuous years— it would be impossble for us to guarantee that there would be no chance of spreading the virus that continues to ravage our country. While there have been no confirmed cases of Coronavirus in Key West as of this date, there is no way of assuring that will continue to be the case.

So we are erring on the side of safety, health, and prudence. We have suspended our productions for now, but we hope that within the next couple of weeks, the arc of the disease will weaken and we will be able to once again trod the boards of our stage. That is our hope, anyway.

So for now, we will be dark. But we hope not for long. Check back with this website frequently for updates on how we see things developing. And please…take care of yourselves. Follow the guidelines, watch out for each other, and we’ll see you soon.
