NYC To Vaccinate Theater Workers Ahead Of Broadway’s Fall
NYC To Vaccinate Theater Workers Ahead Of Broadway’s Fall Return
Theater industry workers will be able to get vaccinated for Covid-19 at new vaccination sites established by the New York City government, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday, investing government resources to ensure Broadway’s reopening this fall after a year-and-a-half-long closure.
De Blasio said the city will establish mobile vaccination sites near Broadway theaters specifically for the theater community, staffed by out-of-work employees in the industry, as well as pop-up testing sites for off-Broadway theaters located away from the Broadway theater district.
The city will also establish pop-up Covid-19 testing sites for theater workers, and help theaters manage crowd flow before and after performances.
“We’ll do everything in our power to bring Broadway and off-Broadway back strong,” de Blasio said Thursday, though he said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo must still release clear Covid-19 safety guidelines for theater workers returning to work.
Cuomo announced in early March that theaters in the state will be able to reopen at limited capacity starting April 2, but industry unions had expressed safety concerns about doing so, necessitating easier access to vaccines before theaters can fully reopen.
Broadway shows are shuttered through at least May 30, but the assumption in the industry—reiterated by de Blasio Thursday—is that shows will begin reopening in the fall, though no shows have yet announced concrete plans to do so.
