Yesterday, President of the Curtain Players, James F. Petsche, announced the cancellation of the final weekend of The 2009 Curtain Players Playwrights Festival.   The Friday July 24 and Saturday July 25 presentations have been cancelled will not be rescheduled.

In a message posted to members of the company’s website and on its Facebook page, Petsche explains, “We are sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience. Faced with a situation beyond our control, Curtain Players leadership could not proceed with production and had to make this difficult decision, the second cancellation regarding this year’s festival.”

The same message goes on to announce a special reading of “Peaches en Regalia,” which will include a talkback discussion with California playwright, Steve Lyons.  The reading has been scheduled for Sunday, August 2.  Curtain Players also plant to announce our 2009-2010 lineup of plays at that same reading.

The August 2 event will begin at 7 PM in our Harlem Road playhouse. There is no admission charge and includes refreshments, announcements about the upcoming season, and a discussion about ways to become engaged with Curtain Players as it begins its 47th season of community theater.   For more information about the August 2 event, please click the corresponding entry on Theatre Vault’s Columbus Theatre Calendar.
