The Maine State Music Theatre will end it’s 2021 season with the current production of Jersey Boys, scrapping 3 planned shows including the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella after ticket holders demanded refunds after learning of the new policy requiring proof of a  COVID-19 Vaccination or a Negative test to attend.  The Portland Press Herald reports $36,000 worth of refunds were requested.  If you have tickets for any of the cancelled shows you can use them for the current production of Jersey Boys, get a refund, or donate the ticket’s value.
