The Greenville’s Peace Center announced the rescheduling of its upcoming Gibbs Cancer Peace Center Broadway season this fall and spring and expected to return mid-Spring 2021.
The Peace Center suspended performances in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, almost 395 events and activities have been canceled or postponed, according to the release.
Below is the list of shows that have already been rescheduled:
- Wicked, originally scheduled for October 28 – November 15, 2020, has been postponed with the hope of it returning in early 2021.

- Hamilton, originally scheduled for February 23 – March 14, 2021, will be postponed to the late summer of 2022.
“The support of our donors is essential to sustain our minimal operations during this downtime,” Megan Riegal, Peace Center president and CEO, said in a news release. “We’re committed to maintaining the stability of the organization and ensuring we’re well-positioned to welcome back the community when the time is right.”
Peace Center representatives mentioned that as a not-for-profit organization, the Peace Center went from a $26 million annual operation to a $3 million annual operation overnight.
“The best way the community can help is to donate. It is important to remember ticket revenue is set aside until the performance happens. Currently, our monthly expenses are covered through generous Peacekeeper, foundation, and corporate gifts. These donations provide the funding necessary to support our operations during this downtime and will allow us to successfully reopen,” noted Riegel.
