St. Paul’s Park Square Theatre cancels two shows because of slow ticket sales
St. Paul’s Park Square Theatre has canceled upcoming productions of “The Diary of Anne Frank” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and will go dark for the first three months of 2023.
The company announced the decision Monday, citing lower ticket sales than anticipated.
“The up-front cost of production, coupled with the slow return to in-person programming, both from patrons and schools, makes this the best decision for Park Square Theatre as we work to continue steering the organization toward a vibrant, supportive and sustainable future,” said a statement from the theater.
The pair of shows were going to be performed to both the public and school groups, but the company said it does not have the ticket sales to fund the student performances.
Park Square has already notified subscribers, ticket holders and schools. Patrons with questions can call 651-291-7005 or email tickets@parksquaretheatre.org.
The theater’s current production, “The Snowy Day,” runs through Friday. “The Revolutionists” is scheduled to open March 29.
