With Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry’s directive banning mass gatherings of more than 50 people, and the requirement of either a successful vaccine, reliable treatment, or community immunity before mass gatherings can resume in phase four of the B.C government’s restart plan, the Royal Theatre and the McPherson Playhouse remain closed for public performances. We continue to monitor public health updates and follow all public health guidelines.
