The curtains have closed on Northern Sky Theater summer stages this year, but the company hopes to recreate the joy of performing for a virtual audience.  The troupe announced Thursday it would not be bringing “Dad’s Season Tickets” to its indoor stage this summer because of uncertainty surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Northern Sky Theater Artistic Director Jeff Herbst says the decision is painful, but it is the correct one in order to protect its audiences and actors.

Audiences will still be able to connect with the company virtually this summer through its free Northern Sky LIVE and Northern Sky at Home shows on its social media channels as well as reprising its successful ticketed showing of Northern SkyLights.  Its fall productions of "And if Elected" and "Naked Radio" are still scheduled, but subject to change.
