Heddatron Postponed Indefinitely from Center Theatre Group / Kirk Douglas Theatre Lineup

"Heddatron," originally scheduled for July 5 through August 2 as the final production of the Center Theatre Group/Kirk Douglas Theatre 2008-2009 season, will be postponed indefinitely, it was announced today by CTG Artistic Director Michael Ritchie.

"This was a tough decision," says Ritchie. "‘Heddatron' is an exceptionally creative play but it's expensive and we are clearly experiencing financial challenges that other local and national non-profit arts organizations are feeling with this unprecedented global economic downturn.

"In consultation with our board of directors, we are continuing to trim our budgets and carefully plan for the next season so that we can safely ride out this bad economic cycle."

"Heddatron" ticket holders will be given a credit on their CTG account that can be used toward a donation to CTG, the purchase of tickets to any of the three CTG theatres or a refund.

The world premiere of "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo" by Rajiv Joseph, directed by Moisés Kaufman, is currently in rehearsal at the Douglas Theatre and will begin previews on May 10. The opening is set for May 17 and the production will run through June 7.
