The board of the 12-year-old Beowulf Alley Theatre announced today that the company has closed its doors.
A release said the closure of the downtown company comes as a result of declining revenue, low attendance, downtown construction and "the property owner's decision to repurpose the building."
“Performance quality has really improved over the past seasons, and our audiences appreciated the local productions we offered,” board president Michael Sultzbach said in the release. “The loss ... is unfortunate as it provided a venue for nearby University of Arizona theatre students, local actors, directors, and production crews to produce quality community theatre that supported the mission to build a vibrant, downtown entertainment district.”
A auction for the sale of theatre equipment, props and other items is slated for Dec. 15.
