Let Community Theaters in New York Reopen

The Issue

There has been so little talk about community theatres, and they should not be classified in the same category as Broadway. If indoor dining without masks and close contact activities are allowed to still be happening, then indoor theatre should be allowed to be open too. Viewing and performing with masks, and audience social distancing, is even safer then some of the entertainment that is open. If you want theaters to re-open please sign this petition. Restaurants are open to 25% capacity, movie theaters are open, malls are open, why can’t community theaters be open too. What I’m asking is if Governor Cuomo can reevaluate community theaters because I think that we need a chance to re-open too. I hope you will be able to take a minute out of your day to sign. Thank you.

Please consider signing.
