Suspending Theatre Operations
With the dramatic rise of COVID-19 in Leelanau County and the recent order from the Michigan Department of Health, the Bay Community Theatre has decided to suspend operations at The Bay Theatre beginning Wednesday, November 18, 2020 through the Holiday Season. We are disappointed to announce this temporary closing and look forward to reopening our doors after the New Year. We so appreciate the support, understanding and generosity of the community during a difficult 2020.
This is a perfect time to join us online! Our “Beyond The Bay” film discussion series remains available every other week during the holiday season via YouTube Live Stream.
The Bay Community Theatre remains a strong, active part of the community. See you at “The Bay” in 2021!
Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season,
Board of Directors
