Workhouse Theatre stops its stage work, for now

Workhouse Theatre Company is canceling an upcoming production and has announced it's taking a year-long hiatus from producing theater until the fall of 2013.

Workhouse has canceled its production of "Dog Sees God." It will close out its current season in October with Matthew Everett's "But Not For Love"; a co-production with The Flower Shop Project.

A release from the company states:

In order for us to continue bringing you the quality productions you have come to expect from us, we have collectively decided that we need to build and strengthen the core of our organization. In pursuit of these goals, we will take a hiatus until the fall of 2013 to reorganize and revitalize. We have already recruited several new board members, and will be announcing our new Artistic Director in mid July.

Workhouse Theatre Company is based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota and should not be confused with the Workhaus Collective, another theater company also based in Minneapolis.
