NOTICE from Second Stage
We have made the difficult decision to cancel the Second Stage 50s Party that was scheduled for Friday, May 10. This is a very busy time of year for families and we feel our audience is divided by other obligations, therefore showing unexpectedly low ticket sales for this event. We feel that it is best to cancel this event and shift our focus to continuing our 10th Anniversary celebration with our upcoming outdoor summer concert series. We look forward to creating valuable events and entertainment for our community and welcome your input. Please follow us @secondstageamherst and secondstageamherst.org for information regarding our community activities and events. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events, including summer camps, our free preschool music program, and so much more!
