PUBLIC CLOSURE ANNOUNCEMENT  

 

In an effort to limit the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we are temporarily closing the BCRAC Historic Theatres – Keystone Theatre, Rialto Theatre, and Sayre Theatre through Thursday, April 2nd. 

During this closure, the Bradford County Regional Arts Council office will also be closed and phones will not be staffed.  For questions or inquiries, please email info@bcrac.org  as we will be monitoring email during the closure. Please note that response time may be slow depending on the volume of email received. 

We are continuing to monitor the overall situation, paying close attention to the guidelines of the Center for Disease Control, Pennsylvania Department of Health, and our local health organizations. We will remain in regular communication with our local health and safety officials and abide by recommendation or mandates as they advise that may affect the re-opening of the BCRAC Historic Theatres.

Ticket refunds will be made by request to info@bcrac.org. If you prefer to donate the value of your ticket(s) as a tax-deductible contribution to the BCRAC, please contact the contact information above. 

As a nonprofit arts organization, closing our doors to the public means a significant loss of revenue. While our top priority is keeping our patrons, visiting artists, and staff safe and secure, funds from tickets, concessions sales, and rental fees are the main sources of income and contribute significantly to our financial stability. This closure greatly affects our ability to preserve these beautiful historic theaters, and to share them with everyone in the community. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to help us offset the costs already incurred for these cancelled events and the lost revenue during our closure, you can do so at   www.bcrac.org/donate/.
