Courtney Rae Review of Meadow Brook Theatre

It s with a heavy heart I m writing this review as this theater is one of my favorites. Always a spectacular show and experience- until tonight, when I was shown just how little this theater cares about its community.
We spent a small fortune on tickets to A Christmas Carol and unfortunately, the night of our show (tonight) is a blizzard. I already live an hour away, in good conditions, however tonight it s closer to three. When I called to see what their refund or exchange policy I was told there was none- unless of course the venue cancels the show. Considering Medowbrook is on a college campus I would have assumed that they would close. However- they didn t. I m sorry, I m not going to risk my life, or someone else s to go to a show. Now, being in theater my whole life I fully understand what s involved in a production. I also understand that this is Michigan and snow happens. But this is a severe winter storm warning. Schools are shutting down, companies are closed for the safety of everyone.
It s just discouraging that a theater so revered within its community has such little regard for the safety of their staff, cast, crew and devoted fans.
