COVID-19 Updates

Update as of 9/15/20:

It has been six months since we closed down our performance of La Cage Aux Folles in March. Six months of monitoring, planning (and re-planning) and waiting until we can see each other again.

An announcement for any in-person return to shows will only happen once we are able to safely make it happen BUT we are excited to announce that we have a full calendar of digital experiences to roll out to you for the remainder of this year and into 2021. And we’re building them to be flexible to the ever-changing future as it unfolds.

When we do announce our season return, it will include all new titles that are everything you expect from Cygnet shows – thought-provoking, entertaining, quality productions.  Thank you for remaining patient!

If you’re a Season 18 Subscriber:

Because we know our return to shows will look a little different than anticipated, we’re converting your Season 18 subscription into a credit that can be used one of two ways:

  1. Hang onto it. Re-apply it to the new season subscription when we can finally gather together in person.
  2. Use it now! Can’t wait that long to connect with Cygnet? Use your credit toward any of our digital program in the meantime! Once we return in person, you can apply any remainder to your new subscription and we’ll adjust your amount-due.

So for now, you can enjoy our streaming performances for Pride and Prejudice and Fully Committed, join us for our newly launched Script Reading Club with Rob Lutfy, or stay tuned for our additional programming to be announcedMake sure you’re signed up for our regular e-blasts so you don’t miss anything.

And as always, please reach out to the box office with any questions or concerns. We can be reached at 619-337-1525 or boxoffice@cygnettheatre.com. The box office hours are currently Tuesday through Friday from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm.

For Single ticket holders from Season 17, we have the following options:

  • Keep the tickets which will be used for new tickets for La Cage aux Folles once we have performances confirmed.
  • Consider using the value of the tickets as a tax deductible donation to the theatre. As a non-profit organization, Cygnet Theatre is a vibrant part of San Diego’s arts and culture community. However due to the nature of theatre as a gathering place, we are particularly vulnerable to the potential impact of this epidemic on the local economy.
  • Turn the tickets into a credit that will stay on your account until we return to in-person theatre.
  • While our normal ticket policy does not allow for refunds, we understand these circumstances require flexibility for everyone. If none of these options work for you, please let the box office know.

As a nonprofit, Cygnet Theatre relies on the financial support of our most dedicated patrons. Without the revenue from ticket sales, we need you now more than ever. A tax-deductible donation will help ensure we can continue to produce award-winning theatre in the future. Click here to donate.

Thank you for your help in keeping our community safe. We will get through this together!

Warm regards,  The Cygnet Team
