Theater Week – Act I

 

A listing of Triangle theater performances
from March 17, 2020 to…

 
NO SHOWS CURRENTLY RUNNING

Because of the current pandemic, all Triangle theater producers and companies have cancelled or postponed their shows. If you had already purchased tickets, please consider donating your ticket purchase back to the theater rather than requesting a refund. This is a way of helping arts organizations you value to weather the current storm. This would also be a good time to show your support by making a donation or becoming a sustainer for artists who have contributed so much to our community.

If you’d like to know more, RDU Onstage is maintaining a list of cancelled and postponed shows, as well as a list of Triangle artist relief resources. You can find both here.

Please stay well, stay home, and stay informed.

Please contact us with any corrections or omissions. For a more complete listing of area events, we recommend the arts calendar at RDU on Stage. For updates on area auditions, we recommend the Triangle Auditions group on Facebook.
