14 Spotlight Thursday, July 30, 2020 J The Kerrville Daily Times 320 West Water Street Ste E 830-896-2380 www.bkcosmo.com Out of an abundance of caution and respect for the safety of both artists and audience, Playhouse 2000 has canceled a concert planned for the Cailloux Theater in September. P2K announced this week that Bob Wills’ Texas Playboys, the Texas swing pioneers whose con- cert was already postponed once, will not perform in September. “We spoke with a representative for the band, and — just as Bobby Flores and The Blackwoods’ rep- resentatives did — they felt that waiting was the most reasonable step right now,” said Playhouse 2000 Executive Director Jeffrey Brown. “We tried to find a date that felt right, and ultimately decided to ask them back in the summer of 2021.” The latest cancellation means no live concerts will be presented in the Cailloux Theater through the month of September. “As much as this is disappoint- ing, we know it also comes as something of a relief to some folks who really want to see the show but just don’t feel comfortable sitting in a large auditorium right now,” Brown said. This schedule change brings the total cancellations since March to 30 events, representing more than 50 days of activity. Playhouse 2000 estimates that the cancellations have meant about 19,000 fewer visits to the audito- rium and more than $170,000 in lost revenue. “We’ve been able to offset the revenue loss with a combination of reduced expenses, a successful application to the PPP loan pro- gram and more than $25,000 in support from about 140 donors,” Brown said. “This has allowed us — so far — to retain critical staff and basic facility upkeep so that we don’t experience any negative effects from the long closure.” The company has also used the time to undertake some long- term maintenance and upgrades, including a revamp of the VK Garage Theater lobby, some car- pet replacements and a thorough cleaning of the theatrical lighting and other equipment. “We had a couple of live theater projects that came together within the safety guidelines,” Brown said. “And we’re keeping an eye on the situation to see how and when we can get back to bringing events to the stage.” In the meanwhile, Brown encouraged the public to watch for updates on the company’s recently updated website, www. CaillouxPerformingArts.com, which combines information on events in both the VK Garage and Cailloux Theaters, plus information on facil- ity rentals, classes and workshops, a collection of photos from past pro- ductions and volunteer opportuni- ties including auditions. Playhouse 2000 manages, on behalf of the city of Kerrville, the Kathleen C. Cailloux City Center for the Performing Arts, including the Cailloux Theater and the VK Garage Theater. For more information, includ- ing details on volunteering with or auditioning for Playhouse 2000, visit www.playhouse2000.com. The Cailloux Theater, usually home to a wide variety of entertaining and enlightening events for the Hill Country, will remain dark at least through September.
