White Rock Theatre races to reschedule shows: coronavirus update
But staff at the venue have been very busy rescheduling as many shows as possible and a list of dates has now appeared on whiterocktheatre.org.uk, and is being updated regularly.
A statement on the website reads: “Inevitably this will not be possible for all performances – and some shows will not be rescheduled. Performances where a decision has been made are listed below. We will be updating this list regularly – so please check back if a performance for which you hold tickets is not yet included. These procedures apply for all bookings made direct with the venue. If you booked through a third party agency (Ticketmaster, SeeTickets) please contact them directly.”

People who cannot see the show on the new date can complete a request form on the website and the booking will be reimbursed through a voucher system. People who can attend the show on the new date do not need to take any action.
The venue has asked for theatregoers not to contact the box office by phone or in person to make it easier for the team to process all enquiries quickly.
“We’re facing real and very serious challenges,” said a White Rock Theatre spokesperson. “A number of customers have asked how they can help. The best way to do this is by waiving your right to reimbursement. If you wish to do this you should complete the request form and choose the ‘donate my voucher’ option. No voucher will be issued to you and the money you have already paid will be donated to Hastings White Rock to help us through these challenging times.”
