Battlefords Community Players are pleased to announce we are ready to provide live theatre to the Battlefords for another season.Ìý
We have developed an interesting lineup of plays for our patrons that will give them something to laugh about, whether over dinner or show only.
Our audience capacity will be significantly reduced to meet the rules for dealing with COVID-19, meals will be served in takeout containers prepared by our caterers and drinks will be brought to you, volunteers will wear mask and gloves, social distancing will be in place, all cleaning instruction will be followed and all precautions for entering and exiting the theatre will be in place as outlined in the guidelines provided by the province.
The season begins with a comedy by Paul Slade Smith, The Outsider, which runs Oct 19-24, followed up with The Catering Queen, a comedy by Alison Lawrence running from Nov. 28 to Dec. 5 and a show yet to be announced being held March 6-13, 2021.
The season ends with another comedy by Annie Pie called At First Sitewith performances from April 24 to May 1, 2021. Monday and Tuesday evenings are show only, Wednesday is a dark night and Thursday through Saturday dinner theatre.
Tickets are $50 for dinner theatre and $25 for show only with at 20 per cent discount if you purchase a ticket package for all four shows. Because of COVID restrictions, all tickets must be purchased in advance.
