The annual Christmas Pantomime has been pushed back until January as a result of hurricane damage to City Hall.

A statement from the Bermuda Musical and Dramatical Society, they were recently informed by the Corporation of Hamilton that a portion of the roof of the stage area of the Earl Cameron Theatre sustained damage in the recent storms.

“The damage is serious enough to be considered a safety hazard and it is currently unclear as to when the theatre will be available again for performances,” the statement said. “Therefore BMDS and the Pantomime Production Team, after much consideration, have decided to postpone the Pantomime production of The Pied Piper to January of 2015.”

While the production was originally scheduled to take the stage December 3 through 14, the performances will now take place between January 22 and January 25 at the Ruth Seaton James Auditorium at CedarBridge Academy.

The statement added: “All tickets that have been purchased online through express.bm for the December production will be automatically refunded. If the refund has not shown on credit/debit card statements by November 22, 2014, please contact info@express.bm.

“If tickets were purchased through the BMDS box office at the Daylesford Theatre, there will be physical box office times announced shortly to obtain refunds.

“We thank the Bermuda public for their patience, understanding and support.”
