2019–20 Season Update

Tuesday, March 17, 2020

Hello Community and Stakeholders,

Over the past few weeks, AASC, and several other companies in the region and nationally, have been tasked with making very difficult decisions caused by the COVID-19 virus. African-American Shakespeare Company will be joining several other theater companies, universities, and businesses across the region in acting decisively to make sure we are keeping everyone in our community safe and healthy.

As a result, we are temporarily halting all programs and productions. Our offices will be closed as mandated by Mayor London Breed and California Governor Gavin Newsom until April 7th. Our production of PRIVATE LIVES will be moved to dates in the Fall of 2020. If you are a ticket holder, our office will coordinate with you on next steps in having you exchange your tickets to attend the performance in November once we are back in the office.

As more information becomes available we will update our community.

Please continue to take care of yourselves in this time of uncertainty.
