We regret to announce that due to actor illness, we must cancel tonight’s 11:00 pm showing of Uncle Vanya. As you can imagine, this is an extraordinary circumstance and no small disappointment. Anyone who’s attended a late-night APL performance has experienced the profound, deepening of resonance imparted by the late hour. But with a small company and the impossibility of understudies given our artistic process, it is in the best interest of the actor’s health and the production’s future for us not to over-extend with 5 solid hours of performance tonight.
This does not affect tonight’s 8:00 pm performance, which will proceed as planned.
Please join us for one of our remaining shows:
- Tonight, 3/29, 8pm
- Tomorrow, 3/30, 4pm
- Wednesday, 4/2, 8pm
- Thursday, 4/3, 8pm
- Friday, 4/4, 8pm
- Saturday, 4/5, 8pm
