A MESSAGE FROM OUR THEATRE MANAGER: COVID 19 UPDATE
 
To Our Family At El Campanil Theatre:

First and foremost, let us say that we hope that in this time of disease, economic strife, and civil unrest that we hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy.

Over the last few months, Executive Director Rick Carraher, Programming Director Steven Shore, and myself (along with the help of many others) have debated about our responsibilities to the community, and our feasibility in offering the same quality live entertainment that we have offered since 2004.

With much deliberation and with much difficulty, it has become clear that in considering ongoing and projected restrictions and limitations, it will be impossible to present the currently scheduled concerts and performances we had planned for the remainder of the 2020 season.  
However, we are excited to share with you an alternative and creative programming plan to keep El Campanil open, functioning and available to entertain the community.

Our final decision regarding our programming rested on three factors:
1. The safety of our patrons, artists, volunteers, and staff;
2. The economic feasibility of producing a full-scale event at a limited capacity;
3. The quality of entertainment our guests have come to expect from El Campanil Theatre.

Therefore, the 2020 events—as they stand—will be replaced by a series entitled “Stage & Screen”; a 30-minute live concert from an established solo or duo performer and friend of ECT, paired with a big screen Feature Film attraction for a memorable family-friendly event. We felt that hearkening back to the days of live entertainment immediately preceding the “talkies” was a wonderful tribute to not only the past of El Campanil, but also the future, as these brand new concert events are something that no other company will be offering.

This brand-new series concept will be a wonderful and safe way to continue to enjoy the arts in Antioch, and I think we can all agree that they are needed now more than ever.

We thank you for your patience, understanding, and support during this difficult time, and thank you for being a part of our El Campanil Family.
 
Regards,
