Today's Herald-Dispatch covered the plans of two of the Tri-state's outdoor theatre groups. One is shutting down for the season, and the other one is cutting back.

The Aracoma Story Inc.’s board of directors has officially announced the cancellation of the company’s 2020 summer season, while locally, Greater Huntington Park & Recreation District and Huntington Area Regional Theater have announced changes to its performance plans.
“While we are all anxious to return to the stage, we have been monitoring this health crisis and do not think we can safely continue with our summer schedule,” said The Aracoma Story President Diana O’Briant. “The safety and health of our company and audience members are our main priority, and although we are saddened to come to this decision, we know it’s for the best.
The shows canceled include the company’s namesake and original drama, “The Aracoma Story,” the battle between love and Harvard Law in “Legally Blonde," and the Johnny Cash musical “Ring of Fire."
O’Briant said she is hopeful the company will be able to return to the stage this year, in the fall or winter.
HART in the Park on Tuesday announced the cancellation of “Elf: The Musical” due to the ongoing pandemic. However, “The Addams Family the Musical” and “101 Dalmatian Kids Pre-Show,” previously scheduled for June, will be performed in July in the Ritter Park Amphitheater.
Tentative show dates are July 10-12, July 17-19 and July 24-26, with the pre-show beginning at 7:30 p.m. and the main show at 8:30 p.m.
Greater Huntington Park & Recreation District will be adhering to all physical distancing guidelines regarding crowd occupancy.
