NEW LONDON — The New London Barn Playhouse announced in a Friday email that it had canceled the remaining shows of Mamma Mia! due to COVID-19 cases among the playhouse employees.
“The company is pausing all in-person work in order to stop the spread within our team,” the email said. “... Please know that while we are heartbroken to go dark, the lights will come back on.”
The company said it would release an updated calendar including performances of Footloose soon. Footloose was slated to open on Wednesday. Mamma Mia, which opened July 20, was supposed to close Sunday.
Ticketholders seeking a credit or refund for the canceled shows can email tickets@nlbarn.org or call 603-526-6710, and leave one voice message.
