Following the closure of the Christchurch Arts Centre after the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, Scared Scriptless resumed performances within three weeks and performed in a variety of venues whilst The Court Theatre constructed its new venue. Companies also hired the Court Jesters directly to perform for them, for example a law firm that was based at the PGC House, one of the two large office buildings that collapsed during the February 2011 earthquake. shows were staged at 8 pm Fridays and Saturdays until The Court Theatre opened its new venue "The Shed". In 2011 The Court Jesters mounted a return season of "A Very Merry Scriptless" as a Christmas musical.
