The Lyric Theatre has announced that it has postponed this year’s 'The Great Southwest Shakespeare Festival' until July 2021.

The Lyric Theatre Artistic and Executive Director, Gordon McCall made the difficult decision to move the festival date to next July due to the COVID-19 pandemic and for the safety of the public, volunteers, and staff.

The change in date was made in hopes that the coronavirus will have subsided and will not pose a health risk to the public by next summer.
