Cortland Repertory Theatre is regretfully announcing the cancellation of their final production of the 2022 summer, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s “Mary Poppins”. The musical was to run from August 3 – 20.
Producing Artistic Director Kerby Thompson has made the following statement: “We are deeply saddened that we have decided to cancel this production. In the interest of transparency: the day before rehearsals started, it was discovered that two of our cast members had developed positive cases of Covid. Both cases were contracted from outside of the CRT company, and both individuals were immediately quarantined. They are feeling fine with mild symptoms. However, out of an abundance of caution for the children who were to be in the production, and the insurmountable challenges of going into rehearsals missing two cast members for at least the first 5 days of quarantine, our Board of Directors voted unanimously to cancel this production.”
