Charles Theatre Will Close Once More Until 'Things Turn Around'

This comes after the theatre cut back its performance schedule due to 'disappointing attendance'.

By:

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, the Charles Theatre recently cut back its performance schedule to just weekend performances, due to 'disappointing attendance' on its reopening weekend.

Now, the theatre will re-close its doors for the time being.

"With COVID numbers continuing to rise and low attendance it was the only decision that made sense," a statement on the theatre's Facebook page reads.

The theatre will continue to sell popcorn on Friday nights from 5:30-8:00 with curbside pickup.
