LIZZIE Postponed to October 2022
We are sorry to announce that LIZZIE has been postponed (again) to October 2022. And again the reason is the COVID pandemic; this time it has hit close to home. One of the LIZZIE cast members sent a letter to the to the Mantorville Theatre Company board here is a portion of the letter:
" Tonight, the cast of Lizzie, along with Sarah and a few of the musicians, sat down and had a very long but necessary conversation about the future of the show. The conclusion that we all came to is that we would like to postpone.
There are several factors that came into play. Two of us having contracted Covid despite being fully vaccinated and continuing to mask even when mandates had been lifted has put a great deal of worry into people. This Delta variant is making its way through the country. More and more unvaccinated people are getting sick, including a number of vaccinated people. Albert Lea just quarantined 300 of their students after their first week of school, due to 60 of their kids contracting the virus. And we have recently learned that there are three people in the St. Mary’s ICU who may actually have contracted the new Lambda variant, which they are suspecting is vaccine resistant. These people are young, perfectly healthy people who had been fully vaccinated and are now on ventilators.
Not only are members of the cast concerned about getting sick and spreading the virus to their families, some of which have kids too young for vaccination, but there is a great deal of concern about how well the show would even sell at this point, given how the numbers keep going up. And there is concern about keeping the audience who does show up safe as well..."
For those who have already purchased tickets, you will be contacted once the board decides how to handle it.
Take care of each other.
