The show must go on, and The Court Theatre has moved quickly to ensure that the shows do, in fact, go on.

The Court Theatre had plans in place ready to roll out if necessary, and that has meant the hardworking team were able to action those plans very quickly in order to allow Winding Up to go ahead. The show, starring Mark Hadlow and Darien Takle, just opened on Saturday February 13.

The theatre has invested in safety protection screens between the aisles, and contingencies in seating to allow a one metre distance between patrons. The auditorium will also be divided into two zones that cater to 100 people each, with seperate entrances, exits, bar and toilets for each zone.

Court Theatre staff are contacting ticketholders for the next few performances of Winding Up to discuss seats and new entry conditions. Due to the distancing and gathering restrictions at Level 2, some ticketholders will be assisted to move their bookings to another night.

Court Theatre Chief Executive Barbara George says it is more important than ever to come together and support each other. "We are very happy to be in a position to safely welcome patrons at The Court Theatre to still offer them some great entertainment."
