Live entertainment venues, an economy nearly destroyed by the COVID-19 pandemic, are finally re-opening around the country and must consequently adapt to varying state restrictions for holding indoor events. Despite being able to reopen, many venues will remain closed until regulations and capacity maximums are relaxed, reasoning that such restrictions make reopening financially implausible.
The coming months will see live entertainment venues opening in waves, some for the first time in well over a year. Those working in this industry and have weathered the pandemic’s devastating effects on their businesses need practical, actionable guidance on which CDC-recommended health precautions to take and how to implement them, to ensure audiences attend live events safely, and another outbreak does not shutter their doors again.

Fox TheatreThe marquee at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta reminded the world on March 13, 2021 that it had been one full year since the venue was able to host a live show. Independent venues and other businesses throughout the industry were able to submit applications for Shuttered Venue Operators Grants from the Small Business Administration on April 26 after a failed first attempt at opening the process on April 8.
After a first attempt marred by technical errors, the U.S. Small Business Administration’s second opening of the applications portal for its Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program on April 26 was met with a much more widely positive response.
