Charlotte’s Web — Cancelled

It is with sadness we announce the Beechmont Players Board has made the difficult decision to cancel our summer production of Charlotte’s Web due to the restrictions and guidelines surrounding COVID-19.

While we were eager to bring this production to life over the summer, the health and safety of our cast, crew, orchestra and patrons is far more important.

We hope to add this production to a future season and most importantly, hope you will he join us when we do.

Thank you for your understanding and please watch our website as well as, social media accounts for more updates in the coming months.

Stay healthy!

Wrong Window – Cancelled

As more information and government mandated bans are announced throughout the state in relation to the COVID-19 health crisis, the Beechmont Players board of directors has made the difficult decision to cancel our May production, Wrong Window.
With the CDC’s recommendation of organizations to not hold gatherings of more than 50 people for the next several weeks, this interferes with the opening of Wrong Window. We refuse to risk the safety of our patrons, cast, and crew so cancelling this production is in our best interest all around.
In this trying time, dozens of organizations are having to cancel their productions in order to be in compliance with the mandates set by the Department of Health. If you have tickets to a live performing arts event which is canceled due to COVID-19, including Beechmont Players, please consider donating your ticket to the organization.
If you would life a refund for your tickets, please call our box office at 513-233-2468 and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you for your understanding in our decision and we hope to be back on stage here soon. Any future updates will be posted on our website, as well as our Facebook and Instagram pages.
