A NOTE ON COVID-19 (UPDATED 3/17/20)
In light of recent changes due to COVID-19, with a heavy heart, we have elected to postpone our production of Julius Caesar. We will release information about the new life this show will take when the time is right, and until then we wish our community health and wellness. In the meantime, we want to take this as an opportunity to be creative with our programming and maintaining our mission while working remotely. Stay healthy and stay tuned!
Much love,
The Little & Fierce Team
