In response to the current government regulations and social distancing protocols related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the St. George Theatre was forced close its doors on March 13, resulting in the cancelation/postponement of over 130 live events through February 2021. This includes the cancelation of the 2020 Christmas Show - the theatre's principal annual fundraiser - for the first time since 2004. All events currently scheduled for 2020 are in the process of being rescheduled to 2021. The most up-to-date list of events that have been rescheduled can be found here.
