(TLP Statement): Timber Lake Playhouse (TLP), the premier professional summer theatre of northwest Illinois, announces the postponement of all performances and events through the end of June. TLP staff are busily working with concert promoters and licensing agents to reschedule these dates. “We at TLP have been looking forward to the opening night of SuperStar in June and we are as disappointed with this decision as everyone is,” stated Dan Danielowski, Executive Director of TLP. “We are, however, committed to the health and safety of our employees and patrons and will do whatever it takes to play our part to get this virus under control so we can all go back to doing the things we love to do.”
Over the next several weeks, the TLP offices will continue to be closed as staff will be working from home. Voice messages and emails will continue to be answered.
“We have continued to be in touch with our Resident Company through video conferencing and emails,” said Artistic Director, Paul Stancato. “They are anxious to get started and excited that TLP is still planning to offer a summer season once it is safe to do so.” The thirty-seven Resident Company members come from all around the country.
Ticketholders will see their tickets and seat assignments automatically transfer to the new date once TLP has determined the new schedule. Options for ticket holders who cannot attend at that time will be available when the new schedule is announced.
“We will monitor the situation and our decisions will be made day to day,” said Danielowski. Watch the TLP website for updated information and the TLP Facebook page for videos of the new company and snippets from seasons past as well as other “live” events from Timber Lake Playhouse, Your Theatre in the Woods.
