Musicals at Richter has decided to cancel
its 2020 onstage season line-up
and summer youth workshop
due to ongoing concerns
over the COVID-19 pandemic.
We were hopeful that we would be able to present performances under the stars
this summer, but in the final analysis, we realize that we can’t safely
produce our mainstage shows or children’s programming
given the concerns and changing landscape of this pandemic.
By their nature, theatrical productions - with intensive acting, singing
and dancing - require performers, technicians, and musicians to work in close
physical proximity to each other. Our audiences enjoy the performances with
picnics and beverages, and attend the shows with numerous friends and
family of all ages. Richter’s multigenerational, highly interactive
environment does not easily accommodate face masks,
social distancing and other recommended preventive protocols.
We’re beyond disappointed to miss this summer season, but we join many other
theaters and community venues in choosing to take a pause - an “intermission” -
until we can safely return.”
While the MAR stage will be dark this season, the theater is exploring plans for
several online cabaret evenings during the summer that will feature songs
and performers from throughout the organization’s history.
