Weather-Related Cancellations
Delayed school openings:
- •If a weather-related delayed school opening will cause your group to arrive late to the theatre, please leave a message at (313) 577-0852 by 8:00 a.m. indicating your expected arrival time, and a contact name and telephone number. If no call is received, the Hilberry assumes that the school group will attend, despite any announced delays in the media.
- •When a majority of area schools are delayed, the curtain may be held for up to one half-hour at the discretion of The Hilberry Theatre.
School closings:
- •As schools use different criteria for closing due to weather, the Hilberry Theatre makes every effort to perform unless the Governor issues a road closure.
- •If your school is closed due to weather, your group leader must leave a message at (313) 577-0852 before 8:00 a.m. If no call is received, the Hilberry Theatre assumes that the school group will attend, despite any announced closures in the media.
- •Should a student group be forced to miss a performance due to weather-related school closures, The Hilberry Theatre will make every effort to reschedule the group whenever possible during the remainder of the run of the performance the tickets were purchased for, subject to space availability.
Programs are subject to change. The Hilberry Theatre cannot be responsible for the refund of expenses incurred by the school, such as transportation or meals.
