Jacklyn L. Wilferd, Ph.D., President of the Chanticleers Board of Directors, released the following statement: "As we have throughout this pandemic, our first thoughts are for the health and wellbeing of you and yours. The health and safety of the entire Chanticleers' family - audience members, staff, creative teams, performers, and volunteers - is of the utmost importance to us.

Season ticket (Flex Pass) holders and individual ticket holders are encouraged to visit the website, https://chanticleers.org/ , for details regarding our ticketing and refund policies."

Wilfred went on to say, "If possible, we do plan to create some art for you during the remainder of 2020 and early 2021. We are exploring some options to present a small cast, one act show and/or a cabaret style show likely offered via online streaming. We are already in touch with the royalty houses and some groundwork is underway for these offerings. Please watch for further information and support us in these endeavors if at all possible.

All of us at Chanticleers want to thank you for your patience and please know how much we appreciate your support. And, when the situation allows, we hope that you will not only see our shows but also support the wide range of theatre available here in the Bay Area. All theatre companies are struggling to get back on our feet and we all need your support now more than ever."
