COVID-19 Update: Our new radio play Fine-Tuned Universe will broadcast from the moon right to your couch!
Though the Cambridge Science Festival 2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and with it our live April readings, the Earthlings have established a signal to transmit original moon-themed work straight into your homes.
Coming to Facebook Live, our new radio play Fine-Tuned Universe by A. Lehrmitt will stream weekly on Saturday nights at 7pm from April 25th – May 30th, 2020. Each week is a new 20-minute chapter, so keep your comms free of interference!
June 2020 production of Walden canceled
Out of consideration for the safety of our artists and audiences during this global health crisis, Flat Earth is saddened to announce that we will be canceling our June 2020 production of Walden.
We made this decision after weighing the pros and cons of continuing, the effect on our community, FET’s financial well-being, and our obligations to our cast and crew. The Company came to the decision to give the Walden team production stipends, even though we have not started rehearsals for the show.
We are still making tough decisions regarding what the future may bring for this play and for our next season, but our priority is and always will be the well-being of our artists so that we can come back in earnest when we are ready to see you all again.
Flat Earth Theatre stands strong with (but 6 feet away from) the many other local theatre companies who are canceling or postponing projects, losing potential revenue, and upending their plans and the plans of their collaborators. The impacts to the art community are highlighted in this new article in the Boston Globe, which features our friends and fellow companies Hub Theatre, Fresh Ink, New Repertory Theatre, and others.
We are committed to making high-quality theater on a shoe-string budget with our Earthlings, but now, more than ever, we need your help. A small company like Flat Earth Theatre runs on a budget dwarfed by larger companies, so your support goes that much further in helping us survive and continue to create the thought-provoking, award-winning productions we are known for. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to help Flat Earth weather this pandemic so that we can return to the stage revitalized as soon as we can.
Stay safe out there,
-Flat Earth Theatre
One Giant Leap readings canceled
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Flat Earth Theatre will be canceling the April readings of our new play series One Giant Leap.
We are plotting a new course after this alteration in our trajectory, and hope to bring you iterations of the lunar-themed plays Fine-Tuned Universe by A. Lehrmitt and Magnificent Desolation by Kevin Mullins in the future in some form. Keep your eyes and ears here for incoming transmissions.
Be well, stay safe, and keep healthy. We'll make that leap yet!
