Seattle Theatre Group is setting the stage for reopening.
On March 11, 2020, Gov. Jay Inslee issued the first coronavirus restrictions for Washington state. That led to the closure of the Paramount Theatre, The Neptune and The Moore Theatre.
One year later, the theatres are still closed.
Josh Labelle, executive director of Seattle Theatre Group, said about 80-85% of its staff are now without jobs. The nonprofit had to cancel or reschedule more than 600 performances.
“As difficult it is in being closed and staying focused on our purpose, on our vision, on our mission; we’ve had to change so much to indirectly serve the health of our citizens here,” said Labelle. https://www.king5.com/article/news/entertainment-news/seattle-theatre-group-paramount-neptune-moore-fall-reopening/281-a61ad67e-414f-4348-86b5-46d63a95406b
