The Rep has suspended its regular programming during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“At this time, The Rep is taking an intentionally conservative approach to its operations for the next several months,” it said in a news release. “The new Board of Directors, in collaboration with The Rep staff, are using this period as an opportunity to regroup and strategically plan for a sustainable future for the organization.”
In 2018, The Rep suspended operations due to cash flow issues. It suspended operations again in March 2020 due to the pandemic.
