Important Announcement Concerning COVID-19 and THE LAST FIVE YEARS at Village Players of Fort Thomas

VP_new logoMarch 27, 2020, Fort Thomas, KY— In the interest of keeping our patrons as informed as possible in these rapidly changing times, Village Players of Fort Thomas is formally announcing the removal of The Last Five Years from its previously announced April 2020 performance dates.

This decision is in response to Governor Beshear’s COVID-19 physical distancing guidelines to maintain safety for Kentuckians and our neighboring states. Village Players of Fort Thomas will fully comply with the governor’s orders and do our part to help flatten the curve so that we can return to producing quality, local theatre as soon as it is safe to do so.

While we had hoped to share our definitive plans for the future of The Last Five Years, there are still several unknowns. The talent that producer Meagan Blasch and director Nathan Henegar assembled for this show is second to none, and we want to explore all possibilities and resources before announcing a final decision.

The Board will soon discuss the remainder of our season, including our planned annual New Works production, and will share information as soon as we have firm answers.

Patrons who currently hold tickets for The Last Five Years should reach out to Village Players at (859) 781-3583 to discuss options, including donating the tickets, requesting a refund, or exchanging them for a future performance.

Thank you as always for your patronage and support of the arts. We look forward to seeing all of you in the theater again soon.

Village Players of Fort Thomas, Kentucky, is a vibrant community theatre that has produced plays and musicals for more than 50 years. Performing in an intimate space, you will feel like you are part of the action, sitting inches from the actors on three sides of the stage. We strive to appeal to a broad audience, producing three main-stage shows of varying styles and a children’s show each winter. Village Players is a member of the American Association of Community Theatre (AACT), Association of Community Theatres Cincinnati (ACT), Ohio Community Theatre Association (OCTA), and the Kentucky Theatre Association (KTA).

ROOM FOR SECONDS Runs March 6-14

VP_Room for Seconds logo

March 13, 2020, Fort Thomas, KY— As arts organizations across the tri-state face the difficult decision of whether or not to proceed with performances in light of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak, Village Players of Fort Thomas’ most important priority is, as always, the health and safety of our patrons and artists. With that in the front of our minds, and after much careful discussion and consideration, we have decided that we will stage the final two performances of ROOM FOR SECONDS tonight, March 13th, and tomorrow night, March 14th.

However, with respect to growing concerns about public spaces, we’d like to share some important safety notes for our audiences:

  • We are limiting audiences to fifty people in our 102-capacity performance space. Patrons who have already purchased tickets are guaranteed admission.
  • Programs will not be reused, and fresh programs will be distributed at both performances.
  • We are disinfecting thoroughly and daily in accordance with CDC guidelines and recommendations.
  • Hand sanitizer is available for all patrons, artists, and volunteers.

We understand that anxiety is high at this time, and we respect the personal comfort of our patrons. If you have tickets for tonight or tomorrow and are unable to attend, please reach out to us at (859) 781-3583.

No decisions regarding a cancellation or delay of our spring production of THE LAST FIVE YEARS have been made at this time, but please check our website and Facebook page for updates as we get closer to the planned April 17th opening of that show.
