In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:
Umpqua Actors Community Theatre has announced that the upcoming productions of Mamma Mia and the summer musical, Mary Poppins have been canceled.
Executive Director Melody Schwegel said the announcement was made, “with a heavy heart”. She said the non-profit is postponing all future shows until further notice.
Schwegel said the decisions were not easy to make. She said UACT “has a tough uphill climb ahead” and she appreciated the support and dedication of patrons, volunteers and board members “in these difficult times”.
Schwegel said she hopes to be able to bring back live theatre to Douglas County in the near future.
