For Immediate Release

September 27, 2005

The Paramount is announcing a change to the theater's fall schedule. The Bomb-itty of Errors, which was scheduled to appear on Wednesday, October 12, has been cancelled. The show's management has pulled all dates for the tour. The theater apologizes for the inconvenience.

The show, a hip-hop retelling of Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors complete with live DJ, was to play for a daytime audience of area students in addition to evening patrons. "It's really unfortunate that we are not able to present this performance as planned," said Kristen Gleason, Director for Community Relations and Education. "I know many area educators were looking forward to exposing their students to this non-traditional form of Shakespeare. There was a lot of excitement about the event."

The Paramount is contacting the ticket buyers of both performances to notify them about the cancellation. Tickets may be returned for a full refund or credit towards another event in The Paramount's 2005-2006 Season. Educators with questions about the schooltime performance should contact Kristen Gleason at 434.979.1922. Evening ticket holders should contact The Paramount's box office at 434.979.1333.
