Dear Friend,
Greetings! I hope you and your loved ones are well.
Thank you for purchasing a pass for Theater Latté Da's NEXT Festival 2020. Your financial support of the NEXT Festival, as well as your presence and feedback at the Festival's public presentations, is a key component to our support for new work. Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this summer's Festival. We would like to offer you the following options regarding your Festival pass. You may:
- Donate the cost of your Festival pass to Theater Latté Da. Your donation will help us weather the period until we can all gather again at the Ritz.
- Place your Festival pass on hold for next summer. All NEXT Festival 2020 passes will be honored for the NEXT Festival 2021 next July.
- Request a refund.
Please contact our Box Office at 612-339-3003 or reply/send an email to boxoffice@latteda.org with your preferred option.
Regardless of your decision, we honor your enthusiasm and interest in being a part of Theater Latté Da's new work development process! One of the projects we had planned for this summer's Festival is a new adaptation of Puccini's comic opera, Gianni Schicchi, by two of the Twin Cities' most beloved writer/performers, Bradley Greenwald (adapter and star of C. at Latté Da and Candide for Theater Latté Da and VocalEssence) and Steven Epp (founding member of Theater de la Jeune Lune and The Moving Company).
As thanks for having purchased a NEXT Festival 2020 pass, you will receive an exclusive invitation to a reading of Gianni Schicchi later this year. You will have the opportunity to gather with your fellow new work enthusiasts, hear the piece and share your thoughts and feedback with Bradley and Steve and director Peter Rothstein.
For all of us at Theater Latté Da, and the artists we so proudly support, continuing to invest in new work fuels our belief that the future of the American musical theater remains bright. The stories we invest in today seed the theater experiences we will cherish tomorrow.
With gratitude,
