TheaterWorks closes, postpones ‘Rex’s Exes’ to May

Posted

TheaterWorks, at 10580 N. 83rd Dr., Peoria, is suspending activity at the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts due to precautions over the COVID-19 virus, but has rescheduled a postponed production. This includes in-person box office hours being suspended.

“Rex’s Exes,” which bills itself as “The Southern-fried mid-life crisis comedy” and was originally scheduled to run March 20-April 12, will open instead on May 1.

“Pump Boys and Dinettes” will be postponed to a future date.

“Please allow us to reach out to you to help you with these changes and exchange your tickets,” the theater stated in a March 18 news release. “We ask for your patience as we contact you individually. It will take some time to reach all our affected patrons. Our box office can be reached at 623-815-7930 where you will be able to leave a message or at boxoffice@theaterworks.org.”

“Taking these actions, though necessary, will have severe financial consequences for TheaterWorks,” the news release continued. “We rely on the participation of ticket buyers, subscribers and donors to exist. The total magnitude of the hardship will be near $400,000 under our current estimations, but there is the potential for that number to grow as we see the ripple effects of this situation. If you are a patron that will be affected by the changes in our programming, consider donating back your ticket or making an exchange for a future production. Those funds will immediately be put to work sustaining TheaterWorks during this time of uncertainty.”
