A Letter from Our President

Dear Thursday Musical members,

Thursday Musical's annual meeting for May 14th is postponed. 

I hope you are well. I have missed seeing you the last few months! Thursday Musical's season came to an abrupt stop on March 14th when the MacPhail Center for Music announced that it was closing its doors due to the pandemic. All of our 8 events in March, April and May at MacPhail were cancelled. This is still the situation today. We are still in a state of disequilibrium with all the changes we have experienced and which will continue on for a while. MacPhail will contact us again around June 7th regarding their situation.
