First Stage Theatre Company, the children’s theatre based in Huntington, W.Va., has announced plans to temporarily suspend its final two productions in the current season: “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” and “Disney’s Moana, Jr.”
Because of concerns about the coronavirus and the closing of schools in West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, the First Stage Board of Directors has stopped production on the final two shows in the group’s 30th season.
“It’s our hope that we’ll be able to restart the shows within a few weeks,” said First Stage President Amy Browning. “But the safety of our actors comes first, so we’re closing down until it’s safe to resume our rehearsals.”
The original plans had “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” being staged the first weekend in April, and “Disney’s Moana, Jr.” at the end of April, but those show dates are now subject to change, depending on when the schools reopen.
Based in Huntington, W.Va., the First Stage Theatre Company is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing an educational, developmental experience for young people through the performing arts.
