How the Coronavirus is Affecting Local Theatre (So Far)

   The effects of the Coronavirus are hitting the world of theatre and forcing changes. 

   Broadway has announced that it's suspending all shows until April 12.

   The two shows in our immediate area - "Follies" in Huntington and "Mamma Mia" in Ashland - are, at this writing, still being staged. 

   Other groups are considering their options.

   Meanwhile, Marshall's School of Theatre issued this announcement today: 

Due to the corona virus pandemic, we are sorry to announce that several upcoming School of Theatre & Dance events listed below have been canceled.

- MU Dance Gala scheduled for March 14

- West Virginia Thespian Festival scheduled for March 19 – 21

- Sense and Sensibility scheduled for April 15 – 18. Since so much work has already been put into preparing for Sense and Sensibility, it is highly likely that it will be the first show of our next season.

For other events scheduled in the JCE Playhouse, please check with the event sponsor for more information.

You may contact the box office next week at 304-696-2787 for more information concerning tickets that you may already have.

Stay tuned for any updates. The dance concert may be re-scheduled, but it is too early to know when.
