The annual dinner theater and silent auction event set to take place Friday to benefit the Northeast Arkansas Chapter American Red Cross has been canceled, according to chapter Executive Director Pam Knapp-Carver.
"The cancellation became necessary because of illness among cast members and other circumstances beyond anyone's control," she explained.
Anyone who has purchased tickets can call the Red Cross office at 870-763-4481 for a refund, or to have their name placed on a list to have tickets re-issued to them when the play is rescheduled.
Knapp-Carver said the event will be rescheduled sometime after the first of the year.
"We regret any inconvenience this may present, and we appreciate all the support we have received from the community," she said. "We hope you will come out and support this event when it is rescheduled later this spring."
