We also just want to give a large shoutout to all of the Covid safety teams working tirelessly around the clock to keep casts, crews, and audience members alike during this time. They are the true superheroes of this past year. As December slowly comes to a close, we just want to reflect and say thank you for a fabulous year of theatre. See you in 2022!
