While there is enormous excitement and expectation around the Lighthouse Theatre curtains opening again, there remains a great deal of work to be done.... But it’s great that we’re now in a position where we have some guidance and parameters around how we can re-open. While we don’t have a re-opening date set we anticipate making an announcement about this towards the end of the year. We can't wait to welcome you back in again.
