CANCELLATION - Greystone Theatre's production of The Grass Tomb

Hello everyone,

It is with great disappointment that I have to announce the cancellation of The Grass Tomb, the final production of the Greystone Theatre season that was to run between March 18-28 at the Emrys Jones Theatre. This is in response to the most recent strictures on public assemblies and events imposed by the University of Saskatchewan, City of Saskatoon and provincial and federal governments to halt the spread of COVID-19.

Effective Monday, March 16, 2020 we will be cancelling our advertising for the show in all venues, and patrons will be given the option of having their money refunded, being given a credit on a future Greystone production, or donating the cost of the ticket to the theatre. Also effective Monday, all further rehearsals will be cancelled within the department.

My thanks to the cast, crew and entire production team of The Grass Tomb, including director, Raymon Montalbetti, for their passion and commitment in bringing an extraordinary show through to tech dress on short notice for archival and grading purposes. You are all heroes, and I'm sorry you were not able to share the show with the public audience that also richly deserved to see it.

My thanks as well to everyone who contributed to making the 2019-20 season a memorable one for other reasons. My deepest appreciation for the creativity and dedication of the students, staff, and faculty who brought us Frankenstein, Playhouse Creatures and The Secret in the Wings. And our deepest gratitude to the university and public communities that have supported us consistently both this year and the many seasons before this.

We trust that we will see all of you again in the seasons to come. In the meantime, please take all measures to stay healthy, safe and well.
