Season Update from Sunset Players and The Arts Center at Dunham

SSP_logoOpening of Sunset Players and the Arts Center at Dunham FREE Family Fun Series 2020/21 seasons are on hold and events will be resumed when safely possible.

The well-being of our patrons, performers and volunteers continues to be our utmost priority. Our Board continues to monitor the local COVID-19 situation as well as the federal, state and local mandates regarding indoor theatrical performances. Due to the uncertainty on when indoor theatre will be able to resume, we find it necessary to announce a delay in opening our 2020/21 season until early 2021.

Additional Information:

We were unable to complete the final weekend of the run of our award winning musical PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES in March and cancelled our spring production of LAUGHTER ON THE 23RD FLOOR, the final show of our 40th anniversary season.

Those who purchased tickets for PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES as well as Season Pass holders who were unable to attend a performance of it and/or the cancelled spring production should have been contacted directly regarding refunds, exchanges and other options. If we somehow overlooked contacting you, please call Deb Case, our Season Ticket Chair, at (513) 418-1644 ASAP.

It was our plan to roll over the final production of last season to open the next one, which no longer appears possible. We will not be selling season passes for 2020/21 until it can be determined when and what will be possible.

We thank you for your patience as we continue to navigate these murky waters. We will continue to assess all options and inform you of any additional changes as they occur.  Look to your email and our social media channels for future updates, and most importantly, continue to take all available precautions to stay as safe as possible during this challenging time.

2020-2021 Season Updated at Mariemont Players

MPI_logo 2020As we continue to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking all government and public health official recommendations into consideration.

Based on the current status and projections for the coming months, the MPI Board of Directors has decided to postpone our September production of THE OUTSIDER and our November production of THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO. Although it saddens us to delay the opening of these two shows, both productions will be moved to our 2021-2022 season and we are so excited to bring these shows to life the way they deserve to be!

If possible, EARTH AND SKY which was cancelled at the beginning of the pandemic will be produced in January 2021.

It has been so difficult to continue putting live theater on hold the last 5 months, but we remain committed to keeping everyone who enters our theater safe and well so that, when it is safe to return, we can do so stronger than ever.

Regarding season ticket subscriptions:
Because of the uncertainty surrounding when live theater will be safe to resume, the Board of Directors has decided not to sell season ticket subscriptions for the 2020-2021 season. Instead, we will sell tickets on a show-by-show basis, giving priority/presale opportunities to last season’s subscribers. Depending on when we are able to produce shows again, we may also sell a reduced subscription package, which will be based on the number of shows our 2020-2021 season produces.

The Board of Directors will decide, two months before a show’s scheduled opening, whether or not the show will be produced, and make announcements accordingly.

Please check our website, www.mariemontplayers.com, or our Facebook page (Mariemont Players Inc.) for the most current information and updates.

Thank you for being part of our community. We miss you, and we look forward to seeing you at MPI as soon as it is safe to do so.

TDW Postpones 2020-2021 Season

TDW_VERTDear Patrons, Members, and Friends of The Drama Workshop,

We had hoped to kick off our 2020-21 season with “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged” next month.

As it seems unlikely that the state of Ohio will allow performance theatres to reopen anytime soon, The Drama Workshop has decided to delay the start of our 2020-21 season. For the safety and health of our actors, crew and patrons we are suspending preparations of all shows scheduled for the rest of 2020.

Our tentative plan is to open in early 2021 and offer a shortened season. That exact schedule of shows is still being decided, and will be communicated to you soon.

Please keep yourselves safe and healthy until we can meet again.

Eric Thomas, President
The Drama Workshop
