And the spotlights dimmed but only for a time
What is going on?
The Spotlight Theatre has a big family of audiences, fans, actors, producers, directors and administrators. We want everyone to be safe for many years to come. We have decided to suspend our performances until it is safe for all of you to enjoy all that the Spotlight Theatre has to offer. Join our mailing list and we will keep you posted on what is going on in the theatre. Thank you for your love and support over the years. We will do our best to weather this storm and after that we will offer you performances to make you laugh, cry and jeer.“
