Honestly, folks, we are not trying to make anyone mad! The challenge with these late schedule changes is that our shows are growing so fast, and we are working hard to accommodate everyone as best we can.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through everyone’s concerns and try to find the best solutions possible.
Please keep checking back here for the latest updates!
