Blackpool Grand Theatre, like many arts organisations acrossthe
world, has been busy moving hundreds of touring shows into a new Autumn/Winter
2020 season. Over the past few weeks
while working from home, caring for our children, families, and staying indoors
has become the normal, Blackpool Grand has been moving a whole season of shows
and helping thousands of its customers amend their bookings.
Planning for the future, Ruth Eastwood CEO said ‘Firstly, I
want to thank the thousands of customers for their patience and understanding
at this challenging time. Our small team (just five of us) has been moving,
refunding and crediting customers over the past few weeks, as quickly as
humanly possible, no mean-feat I must tell you.‘At the same time, I’ve been
moving many of the shows we had planned for Spring/Summer into Autumn/Winter.
The programme is packed with a wide selection from music and drama, to comedy
and dance. ‘I’m delighted to have only had to cancel a few shows. Most have moved to new dates, so you can
still enjoy much of the great line up planned for earlier in the year. I’m very much looking forward to welcoming
you all back from September.’
