Everybody’s, a popular Brooklynbased
Caribbean American magazine,
said on Monday that it was
postponing Oliver Samuels’ “Crazy
But True” play in the United States
amid the coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic.
“As a result of the rapid and deadly
spread of coronavirus disease, Everybody’s
has postponed the performances
of the new Oliver Samuels play,
‘Crazy But True,’ scheduled during
the last two weeks of May and early
June,” said Herman Hall, the magazine’s
Grenadian-born publisher.
“The health of our patrons and the
public comes first.”
Hall said performances in New
York City – the boroughs of Bronx,
Queens and Brooklyn – and in the
states of New Jersey, Connecticut,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and
Maryland are “on hold.”
“We cannot give new dates and
venues until the COVID-19 becomes
manageable and normalcy returns to
public life,” he said.
“Fans who paid for Oliver tickets
during the Christmas-New Year season
to be sent as gifts and organizations
that gave deposits for group
sales, if you wish, we will return your
payments or hold the payments,” he
added.
Before announcing the postponement
of “Crazy But True”, Hall said
the magazine alerted “several cherished
Oliver fans and patrons of Caribbean
comedy-theater.”
