MSU's Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts has announced cancellations of upcoming events at the venue.

As with virtually every other arts organization and/or venue, Missouri State University's Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts has had to adjust their schedule of upcoming events. According to an update on the Hall's web page, "In response to concerns of the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), and a declaration of a Missouri and federal emergency, our top priority is protecting the health and well-being of our patrons, staff, volunteers, students, and touring artists." Here is their current list of cancellations:

The March 28 Springfield Symphony concert has been cancelled. Patrons can exchange their ticket for a future concert in the Symphony’s 2019-2020 season. Exchanges can be made at the Juanita K. Hammons Hall box office during normal operating hours (M-F 10am-5pm). All other questions/inquiries should be directed to the Springfield Symphony’s business office: 417-864-6683.

The April 14 and 15 performances of "PAW Patrol Live!" have been postponed. VStar Entertainment Group is looking to reschedule dates.

"Theresa Caputo Live! The Experience", scheduled for April 22nd, has been postponed. The promoter is looking to reschedule dates.  

And all Missouri State University sponsored events at Juanita K. Hammons Hall, including the President's Concert, have been cancelled for the remainder of the 2019-2020 academic year. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

No information has been posted yet regarding the rock band Chicago's live concert at the Hall, scheduled for April 4.

Patrons are asked to keep their tickets until they receive further instructions.

Hall officials say they are "working with each touring company to figure out the best plan of action for these shows." When information is available, they plan to make details available at https://www.hammonshall.com on each show's page. Information will also be posted on the Hall's "COVID-19 Update" page: https://www.hammonshall.com/coronavirus.htm.

Randy Stewart joined the full-time KSMU staff in June 1978 after working part-time as a student announcer/producer for two years. His job has evolved from Music Director in the early days to encompassing production of a wide range of arts-related programming and features for KSMU, including the online and Friday morning "Arts News." Stewart assists volunteer producers John Darkhorse (Route 66 Blues Express), Lee Worman (The Gold Ring), and Emily Higgins (The Mulberry Tree) with the production of their programs. He's also become the de facto "Voice of KSMU" in recent years due to the many hours per day he’s heard doing local station breaks. Stewart’s record of service on behalf of the Springfield arts community earned him the Springfield Regional Arts Council's "Ozzie Award" in 2006.
