After a two-year renovation project, the 115-year-old Eagles Theatre in Wabash opened Feb. 29 with grand plans for a year of concerts, movies and other events to show off the historic space. Less than three weeks later it was shuttered as the pandemic brought arts and entertainment events to a halt across the world.

Many weekends before the pandemic the seats inside Arts United Center would be filled by audience members eager to take in a theater show, dance production or other arts event.
But since March, the seats have been largely unused as the pandemic forced restrictions on seating capacity and gathering in large groups. To ensure distanced seating, some rows in Arts United Center are completely blocked off when it does host an event. In rows that are being used, some spots are blocked off with fabric bands that wrap vertically around the chair so the seats can t be folded down.
