After a careful and thoughtful review of the show and how it was going to be presented, it was decided to cancel the performance of A Bunch of Amateurs. Valley Performing Arts strives to provide quality live theatre and concerns about the artistic interpretation of some of the situations required the Board to make the appropriate decision to not do the show.
Some of the feedback we've received has been critical of the Board's timing and initial oversight of the script... we agree and accept some of the criticism. There were other factors that we won't discuss in a public forum. However, the fact remains that VPA is committed to the values of our community. We will work diligently to ensure appropriate programming of performances going forward.
We appreciate the hard work of our volunteers and value the time that they committed to the production and thank them sincerely for their efforts on the show. We appreciate your understanding and the support that you give us show after show and year after year.
If you have any questions, please contact the VPA office.
