“We need to learn how to function in our new reality,” says Executive Director of Theatre NorthWest, Marnie Hamagami. Both, TNW and NCTS are teaming up to do an a stage reading of, The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.

“We wanted to take baby steps, to walk before we run, in terms of understanding to how to keep artists and audiences safe.”—Marnie Hamagami, Executive Director, Theatre NorthWest

The stage readings will be performed by local artists meaning that no one will be travelling to and from the community. Audience sizes will be kept small in order to allow space for social distancing.

Theatre NorthWest encourages those interested in attending a show to review their safety plan on their website to get an idea of how comfortable they’d be attending a show.
