Rainbow Stage has cancelled its matinee performance of Rock of Ages due to poor air quality Saturday.

The musical theatre company said it is monitoring the forecast and hopes to proceed with its 7:30 p.m. show tonight.

Those with tickets to today’s 2 p.m. show will be given an option to attend the evening performance instead. Refunds will also be provided.

“As an open-air theatre, this is now, regrettably, one of the many nature-related challenges that we face,” the company said in a news release. “Everyone here at Rainbow Stage is equally disappointed to be in this position.”

The air quality index forecast for Winnipeg at 2 p.m. is 10-plus, or very high risk.
