As a public venue we are acutely aware of the elevated risk of public gatherings. At this time we intend on presenting all performances as scheduled. While we are taking the extra precaution of extra cleaning we need to ask for your help as well.

We ask that if you are showing any symptoms or have been exposed to someone showing symptoms of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) or any other illness, we ask you to postpone your attendance to a later performance in the run. The production runs for three weekends (March 20 – April 5, 2020). If you’re unable to attend Mornings at Seven by Paul Osborn due to illness, we will gladly change your tickets to a future performance this season. Simply call us at 937-278-5993 and leave a message as to the date of your current tickets and the new date you wish to attend and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

If at a later time the situation changes and we need to adjust or cancel performances, we will post information to our website as well as send out an email to those on our mailing list and/or reach out to those without email addresses. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

What Mariemont Players is Doing to Keep Our Theater Safe

MPI_logo 2020Dear MPI Patrons and Friends,

As concerns about COVID-19 arise, Mariemont Players wanted to inform you of the steps we’re taking to keep our theater a safe and welcoming place.

At this point, all performances are proceeding as scheduled.

If you are feeling ill, we would be happy to exchange your ticket for a future performance of your scheduled production.

Call our box office at (513)-684-1236 if you need to reschedule.

Here are the steps we’re taking to keep our space safe:

  • Sanitizing the theater, lobby, restrooms, office, and all surface areas daily
  • Keeping the bathrooms stocked with soap and towels
  • Adding hand sanitizers around the building
  • Discontinuing re-use of programs
  • Making programs available at mariemontplayers.com

And here’s how YOU can help:

  • Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
  • Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes with your arm – not your hands!
  • Avoid touching your face
  • Stay home if you are sick!
  • Get your flu shot
  • If you have recently returned from a country or region with ongoing COVID-19 infections, follow public health guidance and monitor your health. Call your healthcare providers and inform them about your travel history if you need care.

We will continue to monitor this situation, and we’ll make sure you’re informed if the status of performances change.

Thank you for being a friend of Mariemont Players and stay healthy!
