When Will The Lights Go Back Up On Live Theater? | 1A

As more Americans are vaccinated, more American cities are reopening. Restaurants, bars, and event spaces are getting ready for the return of their customers.

But one industry that hasn’t delivered a clear reopening plan is that of live theater. It’s been over a year since Broadway was forced to shut down. Now, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is saying that theaters will be open by September. And for workers who have gone without wages and healthcare for over a year now, that date can’t come soon enough.
