What was shaping up to be a busy spring at The Ridgefield Playhouse came to a halt. In an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19, The Ridgefield Playhouse rescheduled more than 60 live performances.
As Executive Director Allison Stockel continues to rebook events, she does see a light at the end of the tunnel. “We are anticipating reopening in July with many great summer concerts. We hope it gives our patrons something to look forward to during this time of social distancing.”
The Playhouse is also announcing new shows including - Colin Hay on Wednesday, August 12 at 8pm; Cheech and Chong on Saturday, September 5 at 8pm; Madeleine Peyroux and Joan Osborne performing Relish and Careless Love albums in their entirety on Friday, September 11 at 8pm (part of Ridgefield Jazz, Funk & Blues Weekend); two shows with Black Violin on Saturday, September 26 at 4:30pm & 8pm – and more exciting announcements in the coming weeks. “We are looking forward to being together in person and opening our doors once again so that you can experience some amazing shows!” says Stockel.
For more information on new shows and rescheduled events, visit The Ridgefield Playhouse website at www.ridgefieldplayhouse.org for the most up to date information. “Hope cannot be cancelled,” said Stockel. “Our curtains will rise again and we will be singing at the top of lungs and sharing our love for music and the arts together soon. As Fleetwood Mac says, "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow!"
