Old Courthouse Theatre is excited to invite you to meet the Little Sisters of Hoboken in Nunsense, the 4th and final show of our 2020-2021 season.
Nunsense runs May 6-9 & 13-16.
North Carolina remains in Phase III, so we are able to open under limited capacity. Please note, all evening performances begin at 7:30 pm now, instead of the previous start time of 8 pm. Sunday matinees continue to start at 2:30 pm.
Just as we did with the three previous shows of this season with the decrease in seating available, we have blocked seating to allow for 6 feet distancing between households/groups which includes blocking off the entire front row. If you are in need of single seats, seats of 3 or seats of 4 (if there are no more remaining through our ticketing system), please email us at info@octconcord.com or contact us through our social media pages and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Also, with limited seating there is a highly likely chance performances will sell out, so we are encouraging you to purchase your tickets online instead of waiting until the day of the performance at the box office. The box office opens 1 hour before the show begins and if there are seats remaining, they can be purchased at that time.
The cast and crew have been working extremely hard to bring this show to you. They have socially distanced during rehearsals and masks have been worn at all times, as well as temperature checks. In fact, the actors will be performing in special clear face shields during all productions to keep themselves, as well as our patrons safe.
With Nunsense under Phase III, we want to make sure you know the steps we have put in place to keep everyone safe.
- Temperature checks will be done for everyone before entering the theatre.
- Masks will be required for all patrons and volunteers, including the actors, crew and concessions, and box office in the theatre.
- There will be an intermission, however, we ask that if you do get up, that you limit interactions with persons outside of your party and maintain 6 feet distancing.
- Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the lobby.
- Seats are marked off to allow for 6 feet distancing and every other row will be closed off to allow this.
- Seats are sanitized between performances.
- We will not have the cast greetings in the lobby following the performances.
- Concessions will be available during intermission, but will be limited to single-serve pre-packaged items and must be consumed at your seat.
- Programs will be one performance use only. Patrons will be encouraged to take it home with them or dispose of it in the receptacles.
We will also have a Livestream available for anyone that wants to see the show but is not ready to come back to the theatre in person. You can view a recorded version from the comfort of your home. The cost will be $15.00 plus fees for anyone without tickets. If you already have your ticket(s) and would prefer the Livestream option instead of coming to the theatre, please email us at info@octconcord.com so we can give you the information and password to access when we have it available. More information will be released about the Livestream as we have it available.

Thank you for your support of Old Courthouse Theatre. We look forward to seeing you soon at the theatre!
Dear Friends and Patrons of Old Courthouse Theatre:
As the threat of COVID-19 continues to affect our everyday lives, know that Old Courthouse Theatre is committed to keeping our volunteers, patrons, and community safe. We are implementing new cleaning guidelines to protect against the spread of the virus, and we hope to re-open soon. However, as the threat continues to be a present challenge, it is after much consideration that the board of directors has decided to move the production of "Mamma Mia!" to a Spring musical for our 45th Season.
While this decision was not an easy one to make, we remain committed to bringing quality theatre entertainment to Cabarrus County in the safest way possible. We feel this decision is the responsible choice at this time. This production is now scheduled for May 6-9, 2021, and May 13-16, 2021. For any of our patrons that had already purchased tickets to the original performance, your tickets will be transferred to the new show dates that corresponds with your current ticket (Ex. If your ticket was for the first Friday performance in August, it will automatically transfer to the first Friday performance in May). If you have any issues or need to request a different date, please contact our box office.
We are planning on opening our 45th Season with the production of "Clue" in October. Until then, we have been working diligently on bringing our Living Room Reading Series back in a virtual platform. There will also be an original play, "Ashes", written and directed by Andy Rassler that will be available for streaming starting next week. We also have begun work on our annual 10-Minute Play Festival. This year's theme is "Enough, Already!" We are hoping to be able to perform our 10-minute shows this year both live and through online streaming. However, as further information is disseminated about the pandemic, we will do whatever is necessary to keep our patrons and volunteers safe. Please watch your email, as well as our website and social media accounts for updates.
Please know how grateful we are to have a community that supports the arts and has continued to support the Old Courthouse Theatre over the past 45 years. During this difficult time when no revenue is entering the organization through productions, we are working hard to improve our practices to continue to serve this community. Your generosity, support, and prayers are now more important than ever. Thank you for continuing to allow us to serve you. We look forward to welcoming you all back into our theater soon.
Sincerely,
Allison Proba
Old Courthouse Theatre Board of Directors, President
Beginning 12/10/2020 We Are Changing Our Start Time to 7:30pm
Hello, patrons and friends of Old Courthouse Theatre:
In accordance with Gov. Cooper's executive order 181, Old Courthouse Theatre must now be closed by 10 pm. In order to accomplish this, we are moving all of our evening performances up to 7:30 pm instead of 8 pm. This will ensure that all our patrons, volunteers, cast, and crew can be in compliance with the new order.
In addition, the board of directors has decided that all evening performances going forward will start at 7:30 pm for each of our shows this season and subsequent seasons.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for continuing to support Old Courthouse Theatre! Please stay safe!
Sincerely,
Allison Proba
President, Board of Directors
