Thank you all for your patience!
Over the last few months we have tried to keep in contact with all of you through our Constant Contact email system and with updates on the website. It seems
that in some cases the mail wasn’t received, and we are very sorry for the
confusion that created!
We hope that you have been faring well through all the craziness of the last
couple of months.  As you are most likely aware, we have been busily working to
keep you entertained from the safety of your home.
In the meanwhile, our theatre's staff  has been tirelessly preparing for the time
when we can safely reopen our doors.  With the State of Illinois officially entering
Phase III, we would like to keep you apprised of our plans/timelines and the
protocols that we will be implementing to ensure everyone's safety.

SCHEDULE & CHANGES

• We have decided to give the infection numbers a chance to fall further, so our main stage productions will not resume until the middle of September. Between now and then we have one more camp experience that has been a great trial run for when we officially open.
• We will also have our GALA ON THE GROUNDS event which will allow you to socially distance yourself outside and enjoy a concert given by some of your favorite Overshadowed performers.
• The Trip to Bountiful  will have performance dates on September 24, 25, 26 and October 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10.
• We will be moving the opening of Noah! to the time slot a few weeks after our new season usually begins. We will open December 4 and have performances December 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19. We will take a three week break for Christmas and reopen Jan. 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30.
• We are currently working with MTI to reschedule the dates for Beauty and the Beast.
• The date for the Princess concert is still TBD

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WE WILL BE TAKING

• We have created a new seating chart that includes social distancing.
  Between tickets that are purchased together and other groups.
• We have created new traffic pattern
  • Upon arrival, all patrons will be directed to enter (at 6' distances) through our front left doors.
  • At present, we will only be seating up to 50 audience members a performance.
• Hands-free sanitizer stations will be set up at the doors and throughout the theatre.  Everyone will be encourage to use them regularly.
• All patrons and staff members will be required to wear face coverings until you reach your seat. For those who do not have face coverings, we will have nice Overshadowed face coverings for sale.
• All patrons, staff, volunteers, and actors will have their temperatures taken prior to entering the building.  We are procuring non-touch thermometers so that we can be as unobtrusive as possible.
• The theatre will be completely disinfected prior to each performance.
• We will be lengthening our intermissions, and excusing our patrons in groups to avoid large groups gathering in the restrooms or lobby.
• In all restrooms, we will disinfect every toilet/urinal and stall door handle/lock after each use.
• After performances, we will ask our patrons to exit using the closest emergency exit as directed by a nearby usher--rather than funneling everyone through the front doors.

We are grateful for your continued support and look forward to seeing you at Overshadowed again soon.

Stay Healthy and Safe,

Reba Hervas
