PARK SQUARE SUSPENDS PRODUCTION OF MARIE AND ROSETTA
Saint Paul, MN. Jan 13, 2022: Park Square Theatre announced today that its production of Marie and Rosetta, originally scheduled to open January 19th, will be suspended due to concerns regarding COVID-19. The company is currently considering all options available for the future of the production, and will be issuing full refunds to everyone with tickets to the production.
Executive Director, Mark Ferraro-Hauck commented, “For months, while eagerly anticipating the full return of live theatre, our goal has been for artists and audiences to connect and celebrate; for theatre to offer healing and inspiration as we collectively recover from the hurts of the pandemic. While we have to press “pause” yet again, when we reopen we want it to be with hope and joy.” He continued, “We have been hearing the anxiety from our patrons, as well as facing challenges in the rehearsal room due to COVID-19. As we prioritize the health and safety of both our artists and audiences, everything is telling us to take a breath and return when we can do so with enthusiasm and positivity.”
Kim Vasquez, the theatre’s Producing Director added, “The theatre is immensely grateful to Director, Wendy Knox, Music Director, Gary D Hines, and the incredibly talented cast and company of the production. Under incredibly difficult conditions, they have been working passionately to create something beautiful and powerful.”
The January 24th performance by The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society will continue as planned with both an in-person and streaming audience. Later productions of Chelsea Marcantel’s air guitar comedy, Airness, directed by Angela Timberman, and the long-awaited Jeffrey Hatcher mystery, Holmes and Watson, directed by Michael Evan Haney are scheduled to continue as planned, as well as Augusto Federico Amador’s evocative and moving Atacama, a partnership with Full Circle Theater Company.
Ticket holders are being notified by email and phone to ensure communication of the changes and refunds.
