The Palace Theatres COVID-19 Report

COVID-19 REPORT THE PALACE THEATRES DURING THE PANDEMIC MARCH 2020-JUNE 2021

FOREWARD On March 13, 2020, we closed our doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over a year later, we are proud to say that the Palace Theatre Trust has survived.

Our success through this time is due to the hard work and dedication of our staff, the loyalty and generosity of our patrons, and the support from local, state, and federal government. Because of the belief from our community, we are excited to enter a new chapter at the Palace Theatres with a renewed sense of gratitude, responsibility, and positivity.

Although we missed the usual excitement in our venues - a bright stage filled with actors, a bustling lobby, students eager to rehearse their latest show - we made the most of having empty theatres. A lot has happened since March 13, 2020, even while our venues were dark. Throughout this time, we continued to invest in our historic theatre and affiliate venues by completing a number of large-scale restorations and improvements. We provided safe entertainment for our patrons both in person and online. We worked to remain relevant and active in our community. We stayed positively engaged with our Palace Youth Theatre students. We continued to plan for the future with the steadfast certainty that we would return - better than ever. As we look back on our accomplishments and perseverance, I want to thank all who have continued to support the Palace Theatres. Our reopening would not have been possible without you.

We are proud to present this report detailing the activities at the Palace Theatres from March 13, 2020 to June 4, 2021.

Sincerely, Peter Ramsey for the Palace Theatres Team

VIRTUAL SERIES

DECEMBER 21, 2020-MAY 28, 2021 Beginning in December 2020, the Palace, like many performance venues, shifted to the virtual sphere. We kicked off our St. Mary’s Bank Virtual Series by streaming past productions of A Christmas Carol.

After the success of A Christmas Carol, the Palace produced and live streamed weekly virtual performances every Friday night. These virtual performances ranged from past original productions to cabaret style shows featuring our PYT students.

We leveraged our established following and ample resources to support local artists and organizations. The Palace collaborated with Brooks Young Band, Piccola Opera, and NSquared Dance Company, among others.

Tickets were $15 per “household.” One ticket provided one streaming link. All Virtual Series performances were offered at zero cost to our members to show our appreciation for their continued support.

PALACE YOUTH THEATRE KEEPING SPIRITS AND COMMUNICATION HIGH

Our Palace Youth Theatre students did not lose any spirit or passion throughout the pandemic and we made sure to celebrate and support their hard work in every way possible.

We knew how important it was to stay in touch with our PYTers. We found creative ways to keep spirits high within our youth community. We hosted a “car parade,” sent care packages in the mail, doubled down on social media, and dove into the virtual sphere.

VIRTUAL CLASSES AND CAMPS

Beginning in April 2020, PYT launched “PYT @ Home:” virtual curriculum for students to continue their training from the safety of their own homes. We even hosted virtual vacation camps!

This online format was a new challenge for our youth performers, sharpening their skills in independent motivation and perseverance. PYT coordinated exciting classes taught by instructors and working professionals across the globe, including performers in New York City, Florida, and even Australia!

Page 12 | COVID-19 Report

IN-PERSON PERFORMANCES When it was safe to meet in person, PYT returned to live classes and performances.

All class sizes and casts were kept to under 20 students. Social distancing was required at all times and masks were mandatory during rehearsals and performances. Our students took to the stage with an increased passion and appreciation for PYT.

October 6-17, 2020: Beauty and the Beast Jr. (Palace Youth Theatre) November 3-4, 2020: Godspell Jr. (Palace Teen Apprentice Company) November 10-11, 2020: Godspell Jr. (Palace Teen Company) November 27-29, 2020: A Christmas Carol Jr. (Palace Youth Theatre)

VIRTUAL PERFORMANCES The St. Mary’s Bank Virtual Series provided a unique opportunity for our youth performers. We produced four cabaret style shows featuring our PYT students.

These shows gave our students something to look forward to and something to work towards, even while we could not rehearse for in-person performances.

SPECIAL PROJECTS DINNER AND A SHOW

January 2021-March 2021: The Palace reached out to our restaurant sponsors to film the “Dinner and a Show” series. In each episode of this series, one of our partner restaurants presented their signature dish and cocktail. We aired these episodes before our virtual shows and on all social media platforms.

COMMUNITY APPRECIATION

People of the Palace - January 2021-June 2021: This social media campaign was another way for the Palace to connect with our community and share our appreciation for the “People of the Palace.” Each week, we interviewed a different individual. We published an article and accompanying graphic on our social media platforms.

These features included usher volunteers, performers, Palace members, and employees.

PYT Performer of the Month - December 2020present: We also launched our PYT Performer of the Month program. Each month, we featured a PYT student on our social media accounts.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

February 15-19, 2021: The Palace was proud to produce an educational resource during Black History Month. The Palace staged and filmed dramatic readings of two “Reader’s Theatre” historical plays written by Mackoweicki Lewis. These plays were made available to educators at no cost. Over eighty classrooms across the country utilized this resource.

February 1-28, 2021: We used our social media platform to celebrate Black history in theatre and dance. This initiative deepened our commitment to recognizing, honoring, and appreciating Black brilliance in music, theatre, dance, and beyond.
