Whatley Center closed for Fall

Northeast Texas Community College has made the decision to close the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts through the end of December. 

"The health and safety of our patrons and community is our top priority and we feel that this is the right thing to do given the current circumstances with COVID-19," Carolyn Franks, Whatley Director, said. "The cancellation of our eagerly-anticipated events is very disappointing to both us and our patrons. We will look at putting together a reduced season in January and make a decision on spring shows later this fall."

For now, the Tapestry show that was cancelled earlier this spring has been postponed until the COVID-19 situation improves. A new date is tentatively scheduled for March 2021. In the meantime, NTCC is working diligently to ensure the appropriate safety and sanitation protocols are in place when events can resume. 

Sincerely,
 

Carolyn Franks

Whatley Center Director
