We strongly support all measures to protect the health of our patrons, artists, and staff. Given these new guidelines, Harlequin will suspend the final weekend of The Highest Tide and all future operations until further notice. This includes the operations of our administrative staff. Please read our full March 16 Press Release here.
This is an evolving crisis with many unknowns. If you are a ticket holder, we will honor your tickets and will contact you as soon as our plans solidify. We will humbly add that transferring your ticket to a donation supports Harlequin during these uncertain times. If you would like to contact us about your tickets, please use the form below. Our box office will not be regularly staffed during this time.
If you are not currently a sustaining member of Harlequin, please consider becoming one. Information on membership is here. The Seattle Times has provided information on how to help artists and culture workers generally. That information is here.
