Theatre for Early Years (ages 2-6) at Neruda Arts Studio | St. Jacobs

**PERFORMANCES POSTPONED**

The upcoming performances on December 9 and 10 have been postponed.

NOTE FROM COSMIC FISHING THEATRE:

We have made the decision to postpone these upcoming performances out of caution. With the high rates of viral illnesses currently circulating (namely COVID and RSV), we think it is safer to delay our performances in order to maintain the health and safety of both our audiences and artistic team.

We thank you sincerely for showing interest in our project, and very much look forward to engaging with you and your young ones at a future performance (dates and locations to be announced in early January). Those who have already registered to attend have received emails with the postponement announcement. For those interested in attending one of the future shows, please register for one of the current dates (Dec. 9 or 10), and we will contact you as soon as we have rescheduled the dates to offer you spots before they are made available to the rest of the public.

With the holidays coming up, we wish everyone the chance to have a relaxing and playful time with their loved ones. If you have any further questions, or want to connect with us, feel free to send us an email by scrolling to the bottom of this page and hitting the “Contact” button. You can also connect with us through Instagram and Facebook (@cosmicfishing).

Thank you kindly for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you in the near future!

Warm wishes,

Cosmic Fishing Theatre
