Announcement from the Beacon Arts Centre on 12th August 2020
After careful consideration of the most recent guidelines issued by the Scottish Government, it is with enormous regret that we announce our decision to postpone this year’s pantomime, Cinderella, until Christmas 2021.
A message from our Theatre Director, Pauline Kane, “The Beacon’s pantomime is a highlight of Inverclyde’s cultural calendar and has established itself as a popular Christmas tradition for many families from the local area and beyond. Under the current restrictions, we are unable to produce the panto experience our audiences have come to know and love – that of a packed auditorium, high energy crowds and of course, the hilarious on-stage antics of our much-loved regular cast members. We are deeply saddened to lose panto this year, but our priority is the safety of our staff and audiences. Therefore, postponing until next year feels like the most sensible, fair, and safe option, and we promise that next year’s show will be the biggest ball in town!”
Our box office team will be contacting all ticket holders, in performance date order, with available options. We ask that audiences keep their tickets for next year’s show to help support us through this difficult period where possible. If this is not an option, we ask that bookers consider an account credit to book for a later date, or donate all, or part of refunded tickets to help our organisation deliver an exciting programme of shows, events, classes and workshops when we reopen.
Cinderella WILL go to the ball (in 2021!) And we can’t wait to welcome you back to the Beacon.
