Ambassador Theatre Group Will Lay Off 1200 UK Employees in September

According to The Guardian, Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG) will lay off over 1200 employees in September- a change that will occur following the conclusion of the UK government's furlough scheme at the end of August.

A spokesperson told The Guardian: "The impact of the pandemic, which has left theatres closed since 16 March and without any clear opening date with no social distancing, has forced the company to make this difficult decision."
