TAPA continues to advocate on behalf of theatre, dance and opera companies with regards to the current provincial restrictions preventing many of your companies from rehearsing, creating digital content and/or engaging in live broadcasting. We recognize this has placed many of you in a precarious position and is extremely frustrating in your ongoing scenario planning.
Please see the linked communication, below, to Minister Lisa MacLeod at the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture for province of Ontario sent today in response to the extended lockdown announced February 19, 2021 . We will keep you posted on our communications and any potential or confirmed changes.
In the meantime if you wish to send your own letter to Minister MacLeod minister.macleod@ontario.ca please be sure to c.c. us:
TAPA Executive Director Jacoba Knaapen jacobak@tapa.ca
TAPA Board President Regine Cadet reginec@passemuraille.on.ca
THANK YOU all for your perseverance!
