DEAR FRIENDS OF CURIO,
After hours of conversations and with heavy hearts, Curio Theatre has postponed our spring show, EVERYBODY, indefinitely until we can safely make theater together again. We take the safety of our community very seriously, and based on current health guidelines, we felt we had no other choice but to postpone. It is our sincere hope that one day EVERYBODY will return to the Curio stage.
Keeping our artists and staff safe is something we do not take lightly, but this was a difficult decision to make on behalf of an entire community — a decision that impacts actors, designers, and backstage theater makers. Before we postponed, the team behind EVERYBODY made some exciting headway on the show, which would have concluded our 15th season. Choreographers, stage managers, directors, lighting designers, stage designers, and many more spent countless hours imagining, building, and creating.
If you are able, consider making a tax-deductible donation to our General Operating Fund so Curio Theatre Company can make it onto the other side of this trying time.

Thank you again for supporting us. We are having ongoing conversations about how to make art during this strange and stressful period, perhaps when we all need it most.
Take care and see you soon,
Gay Carducci and Paul Kuhn
Managing Director and Artistic Director
