RESCHEDULED EVENT NEWS
We have an event in 2021! We are delighted to be returning to the Academy Theatre in conjunction with Portlethen Town Association on Sat 27th March with the rescheduled HOW TO BE A SUPERHERO. If you had tickets for the cancelled date in 2020 these can be carried forward to the 2021 performances. The capacity has been reduced in line with current Covid 19 health advice and guidelines so tickets are limited. They can be bought NOW from Aberdeen Performing Arts HERE
Shows currently postponed/cancelled:
Following advice from the UK and Scottish Governments for people to limit social contact to combat the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic, and in conjunction with events organisers who have made the choice to close their venues; we have taken the difficult, but necessary, decision to postpone our immediate JUNGLE PARTY and HOW TO BE A SUPERHERO shows. The relevant box offices are understandably extremely busy dealing with the repercussions not only for our show but all the other events they had scheduled. Some have asked for patience as they deal with ticketing issues caused. If you had tickets for one of the affected performances please check with venue’s website regarding their ticket refund or reschedule policies.
This is not a decision we have taken lightly but these are unprecedented times and with the situation around Covid-19 changing rapidly, we are rightly prioritising the health, safety and wellbeing of all our customers a well as our Funbox team. We are very aware that our fans and followers will be disappointed, as we are, but we are determined to reschedule the affected shows to a later date when things are hopefully back to normal. Please see below for the shows currently affected.
Live performances are the financial lifeblood of FUNBOX and, as for so many, these are difficult times but we are working hard to find ways to stay connected with our fans in the coming weeks. Look out for updates here and on our social media pages for what we have planned. We are so grateful for all the love and continuing support you’ve shown.
Please stay safe, stay strong and stay positive
