CANCELLATION NOTICE: ABET's Production of Misery
​
It is with deep regret that All Beaches Experimental Theatre (ABET) announces the cancellation of our production of Misery. This difficult decision comes in light of the recent fire and water damage sustained at the Players by the Sea Studio Theater, where the production was scheduled to be performed.
​
We are immensely grateful that no one was injured in the incident. However, the damage to the facility has made it impossible to proceed with the performances as planned. While we had eagerly anticipated sharing this gripping and thrilling production with our audiences, the safety of our artists, staff, and patrons must come first.
​
We stand in full support of our friends and colleagues at Players by the Sea as they navigate the challenges ahead and begin the process of recovery. Their space is a vital part of the arts community, and we are confident it will return stronger than ever.
​
Ticket holders will be contacted directly with information regarding refunds or exchanges. We appreciate your understanding and continued support of ABET and the Jacksonville Theater community during this time.
​
With gratitude and hope,
Raines Carr
Artistic Director
ABET - All Beaches Experimental Theatre
