New Britain’s Hole in the Wall Theater has announced that it is, “cancelling all live shows until further notice, due to concerns of spreading COVID-19.”
On March 16, 2020, the Theater announced that,
It is with great regret that we announce that HITW will be cancelling all live shows until further notice, due to concerns of spreading COVID-19 in our community. The state of Connecticut has announced the closing of all movie theaters and even restaurants. The CDC has officially recommended that no gatherings of 50 or more people be held for the next eight weeks.
The Theater’s current regular play is the American classic play, Our Town, by renown playwright Thornton Wilder.
In its announcement, the Theater added,
Thank you for supporting Hole in the Wall Theater. Now is a great time to donate to ensure our survival through what very well may be months of downtime. We will be doing everything we can to continue creating art and supporting our community behind closed doors.
The Theater’s website has a donations page, where people can donate to the volunteer theater organization.
The Hole in the Wall Theater has said that it, “has been a staple of the New Britain arts community for over 40 years. Through the hundreds of shows we’ve produced, our mission has always been to make theater accessible to everyone.”
The Hole in the Wall Theater is located at 116 Main Street.
