First Stage cancels all remaining performances of GRETEL!
A Message from First Stage:
Due to the growing public concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, all remaining performances of GRETEL! are canceled, effective immediately. GRETEL! was originally scheduled to run through March 22. All ticket buyers to today’s and next weekend’s performances will also be notified by e-mail.
This was another difficult decision for us to make, as we were hopeful to continue sharing Gretel’s story of determination and perseverance with families, but as always, the health and safety of our families and our community remain the highest priority. Once we have more information on when we may safely resume our 2019/20 season performances, we will be in contact with all ticket buyers regarding options.
As previously announced:
Performances of THE LEGEND OF ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS at the Marcus Center’s Todd Wehr Theater: At this time, all remaining evening, weekend, and school group matinee performances are suspended through March 29, 2020. Opportunities to exchange tickets to a different performance will be announced as soon as we know precisely when performances may safely resume.
