Rite of Spring: 

Performance Postponement 

To our Patrons -- we’ve been following the news very closely over the last few weeks and working with the Athenaeum Theatre to determine the best course of action. In accordance with the state and local officials, and out of concern for the health and safety of our patrons, artists and staff, Chicago Repertory Ballet is postponing The Right of Spring & Other Works. 

The new performance date is set for this fall, September 11th-13th. If you’ve already purchased tickets, your tickets have been transferred to these new dates. If you would like a refund please contact the Athenaeum Theatre.

This was a difficult decision for our team, but the safety of our patrons, dancers, and staff is of the utmost importance. Chicago Repertory Ballet’s Company Dancers will receive a stipend for their work to date, and we will continue to assess any potential financial losses in the coming weeks. We thank you for being a long time supporter of the arts, and we look forward to bringing these exciting works to the stage in September. Do not hesitate to contact us [info@chicagorepertoryballet.com] or The Athenaeum Theatre with any questions. The Athenaeum Theatre’s Box Office will be handling a significant number of inquiries, so they would appreciate your patience; do not feel like you must contact the Box Office immediately. 

We will continue to monitor any developments with the COVID-19 pandemic and should any changes mandate an alteration in our production dates, we will let you know.

 

Thank you for looking after yourselves and each other. We look forward to welcoming you back to the theatre very soon.
