Dear Client,
The current Coronavirus crisis has presented circumstances that are unprecedented in our lifetime. Like most people around the world, we at All Dressed Up Costumes, have been monitoring news outlets and government sites in order to stay apprised of the situation. Being a global company, ADU has taken precautions at our facility in order to best protect our employees by following the recommendations of healthcare professionals, the CDC in the U.S., and the corresponding agencies in other countries. We know that our customers have been working similarly to determine the best course of action in light of the specific circumstances in their communities.
Not surprisingly, several customers have contacted ADU to ask for advice regarding their upcoming productions. Notwithstanding the mantra stated above, it should go without saying that nothing is more important than the health and safety of your cast, crew, production team, audience and community. Whether due to the risks posed by the Coronavirus or any other cause, if people cannot safely perform a show or attend a performance, common sense dictates that they should not do so. Each community has been differently impacted and each producer, artistic director, principal, or teacher with decision-making authority must determine whether the show should proceed as scheduled or if it should be postponed until a later date. The ramifications of announcing a postponement may seem daunting, and at very least disappointing to many, but nothing is worth risking people's health and safety. In some parts of this country, schools and universities have been closed and certain public events have been canceled; elsewhere, it is "business as usual."
Given the many factors that need to be considered, ADU is not in a position to make that decision for our customers. What ADU can do is respond to our customers' needs as best we can. Our production team are here to answer questions and, where necessary, process changes to existing contracts. While there may be pre-existing conflicts or restrictions when rescheduling your performances, we will do what we can to minimize the impact on your organization and your production.
We are hopeful that the coming days will offer more clarity into the nature and scope of this situation. We will make every effort to continue providing the highest level of customer service despite these extraordinary circumstances. On a personal note, we at ADU consider our customers an extension of the ADU Family and we take enormous pride in the role we play for our customers and the authors you represent. We offer you our sincere wishes that you, your friends, and your family remain safe and healthy during this crisis.
Whether now or at a later date, the show must indeed go on and ADU will be here to help make your experience as smooth and memorable as possible.
Sincerely,
The ADU Crew Team
