THEATRE IN THE RAW's Upcoming Show - August 6th & 7th:
TITR is pleased to announce that we will be performing the one-act play IN RE: RADDING v GLAZER by Steve Karp for a live audience for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic as part of the Flag Stop Theatre & Arts Festival in Whistler BC.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic and under advice from the Provincial Health Authorities, TITR will temporarily be suspending all of its live performance work until such a time that it is safe or feasible to undertake.
Thank you to all of the healthcare workers, front-line workers and others working every day to support the community in these difficult times. We hope to see you again at a live show again as soon as possible.
Stay safe everyone.
