MACE

To all of our friends and fight family,

We hope that you are all staying healthy and safe and sane in these crazy times.

With heavy hearts, we are announcing the cancellation of the Winter Wonderland Workshop 2021. In light of the trajectory of Covid-19, we have determined that there is no way to safely host this stage combat workshop. Being that the event is indoors (it is January in Chicago, after all), and by nature, social distancing is not practical when performing stage combat, we felt that the only responsible decision we could make was to cancel.

We hope that the situation will change significantly and soon, so that all of us are able to get back to practicing this art form that we all love and appreciate that helps to tell stories and brings our audiences joy!

If you or someone you know are interested, please put your hat in the ring.
