Emerald Pig Theatrical Society

https://www.emeraldpig.ca//01/31/online-meeting-announcem/ EPTS will be holding our AGM on Sunday, February 7, at 11am. Our meeting will be held via the Zoom platform. Invitations were sent out by email to everyone who participated in one of our shows over the past two years as cast or crew. But times have been strange, and we just want to gently remind members to please check your email if you have not already seen the invitation. If you would like to attend, please reply ...to the email to get the Zoom link for the meeting. If you cannot find the email, please check those catchalls, like your junk folder, and failing that, feel free to drop us a line via our contact email. If you’re not already a member, but you’d like to beplease get in touch, we’d love to have you! A message from our President: As I’m sure you know, COVID has hit community theatre pretty hard. We’ve had to cancel or postpone shows this year. One thing we can’t cancel, though, is our AGM. We were supposed to hold it in September but that couldn’t happen. The BC Societies Act has been temporarily amended to allow groups like ours to delay holding meetings until March, 2021. If you are interested in attending, and we really hope you would like to, please get in touch and we’ll provide you with the Zoom invitation as well as an Agenda for the meeting. Thanks, Simon Challenger EPTS President

Come listen in on A Christmas Carol by Williams Lake Studio Theatre.

Greetings everyone, It is with extreme disappointment that we must cancel our production of A Night of the Macabre. We were hoping to make an announcement regarding a postponement, but now it appears we will not even be able to do that. Thank you so much for your support, and as soon as we are able to move forward, we will let everyone know. Take care and stay safe!

Reasonable ask for some fairness!

For all of our friends, patrons and lovers of Shakespeare, you’ll have realized that we, too, have been adversely affected by the Covid-19 virus. That unfortunately meant that we had to cancel our Bard on the Bandstand presentation of As You Like It for this summer. Don’t worry, though. We will be bringing Rosalind, Orlando, Celia, Touchstone and all their companions to the stage next summer in Mission, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. It may be re-imagined depending upon what needs to be done to satisfy virus protocols, but we can guarantee you’ll love it! Keep following our page for further updates regarding Bard on the Bandstand, and other Emerald Pig events. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe!
