The Hill Cumorah Pageant was scheduled to take its final bow this summer. As it turns out, the curtain came down on the long-running event for the last time almost two years ago.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Tuesday that, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the pageant will not be produced this year.

Instead, the Palmyra, N.Y., spectacle will be celebrated with a broadcast of the 2019 pageant to âcommemorate the contributions of tens of thousands of volunteer participants through the years,â according to a church news release. (It can be viewed beginning July 9 on broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.)
