Wednesday Performances at the Arkley Center Have Been Rescheduled
LOWDOWN UPDATE: Bummer news, weird puppet fans. The Arkley Center for the Performing Arts has sent word that Mummenschanz‘s truck carrying its gear has been delayed in Wyoming (!!!) and thus they won’t be able to make any of Wednesday’s scheduled performances — the cancellation “is not due to coronavirus concerns,” they stress. (Read the cancelation notice here.)
However, all hope is not lost! The Arkley people tell us tickets will be honored at the same time and location on Thursday, March 12. So there.
Other Wednesday night delights can be procured by scrolling your Lowdown listings below.
