THUNDER BAY — Magnus Theatre has been forced to cancel several performances of Home: A Bluegrass Celebration.
It made the announcement Tuesday afternoon, citing COVID-19 cases within the acting company.
The affected performances include those scheduled from Tuesday, July 19 through Friday, July 22.
The production opened on July 14 at the Boshcoff Summer Stage.
“As we say in 'Home,' it’s difficult, but we’re all in this together,” said Magnus artistic director Thom Currie.
“The show is quite popular, with audiences truly enjoying the outdoor theatre experience...We are looking forward to resuming performances on Saturday and are confident that the remainder of this limited run will continue without incident.”
Affected ticket holders are in the process of being contacted by the Box Office in order of performance date.
The theatre company said it looks forward to welcoming patrons back for the return of Home: A Bluegrass Celebration from Saturday, July 23 through Saturday, July 30, when the show must close.
It said Magnus continues to prioritize the health and safety of its patrons, artists, and staff.
