EASTER SERVICE 2020 - Virtual

A virtual Silver Plume Easter for our friends, family, and community. Thank you all for being a part of it. You will see the Plume Singers, well not really, we are missing Claudia…and Sarah…and Christine…and Fid…and of course Pauline. That leaves only the ones sheltering in place together, the Regesters. Needless to say, it is not the full sound of the Plume Singers and their voices are missed. Be sure to sing along louder from home.

Breaking. . .our 2020 season postponed for the moment. . .

Coronavirus Action Plan

       Due to the current events in the State, Country, and world, we will be postponing the Famous and Infamous Silver Plume Melodrama. This means that all April dates are canceled with tentative dates added in June and July. We are concerned with safety of our patrons and volunteers and will remain fluid, continually reassessing our action plan. As a Captain of mine once said "This is a plan from which to deviate." We thank you for all the years of support and we will keep everyone updated as events come back online.

 A note for those worried that this may change the long

tradition of the Silver Plume Melodramas:

     We have also canceled practice, so the cast and crew will not have the opportunity to memorize their lines. Therefore, you will still get the same great performance that we pride ourselves on and that you have come to expect from the professionals at the George Downing Playhouse.
