Saint Vincent College has canceled the 2020 season of Saint Vincent Summer Theatre, citing travel and other gathering restrictions associated with covid-19.
Plans were for the season to open May 21 with “The Marvelous Wonderettes.”
“This is certainly a difficult and unfortunate decision as Saint Vincent Summer Theatre has been a staple for 51 years in the community and throughout the region,” said Greggory Brandt, Saint Vincent Summer Theatre producing artistic director, in a release. “We were really excited about the great lineup we had this summer. However, the health and safety of our patrons, actors, production team and friends will always be our number-one priority.
“We are already looking forward to making next year’s season even more memorable,” he said.
Patrons who have already purchased tickets for any of the three productions may request a refund by calling 724-805-2177.
Patrons also may elect for their ticket purchases to be donated to the Students First Fund or Saint Vincent Summer Theatre.
Information about future summer theater productions will be shared at a later date, according to the release.
