North Bay theatre companies continue to take illness-related hits with announced cancellations at three different companies.

Sebastopol’s Main Stage West lost this weekend’s performances of Ham for the Holidays to an undisclosed illness. The company hopes to reopen the show on Thursday, December 22 and close with a final performance on Friday, December 30.

Rohnert Park’s Spreckels Theatre Company cancelled the three closing-weekend performances of the rarely performed musical Man with a Load of Mischief. Social media posts indicate it is a flu-related closure.

The Mountain Play/Ross Valley Players production of the musical Gypsy, A Musical Fable lost its final two perfomances to COVID cases in their production group.

All three companies noted that the cancellations were done with the health and safety of their artists, staffs, and patrons in mind.
