BRAVO! Theatre
BRAVO! Theatre has cancelled the final four performances of “The Book of Will” due to concern for the health of their audiences, staff, cast and crew. The show is cancelled — not postponed — because the period costumes were on loan from a theater in Ottawa and must be returned next week.

BRAVO! needs your help and financial support to keep the theater alive through this crisis. While there will be no income for several months, the rent, utilities and other expenses will continue to accumulate. Monetary contributions are welcome.
