The Dayton Performing Arts Alliance today regretfully announces that all live in-theatre performances through December 30, 2020 have been canceled or rescheduled. The DPAA has made this decision in order to ensure the safety of all concerned during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Several performances that will be canceled in the next several weeks will be given the proper premiere that they deserve in the 2021–2022 season. These performances, highlighting the artistic creativity and collaboration of the DPAA, include the The Art of Us: A Dayton Mosaic, Dayton Ballet’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Dayton Opera’s Finding Wright. Additionally, seasonal favorites that have become a staple in the Dayton community will return as well, including PhilharMonster, Handel’s Messiah, and Dayton Ballet’s The Nutcracker.
