The Board of Directors of Second Street Players (SSP) has announced the cancellation of the remainder of our 2020 season of shows, including Main Stage and Children’s Theater productions and Movies at Riverfront Theater (MaRT).
In an email from Guy Crawford, SSP Board President to the theater’s Friends and Supporters he says, “While it’s disappointing for all of us involved in this great community organization to have to take this step, we must acknowledge the challenges associated with moving forward with our season as planned. It would be very challenging financially and logistically to present a show under social distancing restrictions that may last into the fall. The health and safety of our volunteers, actors, crew, and patrons are very important to us and this decision will allow us certainty to plan for the future.”

We will be offering three options for our season ticket holders:

What will 2021 look like?
SSP will move three of the Main Stage shows planned for 2020 to its 2021 season, including Caught in the Net, Oliver! and It’s a Wonderful Life. 2021 will also include two additional shows to be named later.
Two of the 2020 SSP Children’s Theater shows will be moved to 2021: Bedtime Stories (As Told By Our Dad Who Messed Them Up) and The Big Bad Musical. The Children’s Theater will also stage a third show to be announced later.
