It is no secret that every industry has been affected in some way over these past few months. There has obviously been many regulations put into place in an effort to keep everyone safe by the states. However working in the entertainment industry has been an interesting endeavor during this pandemic.
As a indoor theatre, things are very complicated... a crowded indoor settings are not exactly the best place to be during a pandemic.... and of course I completely agree.
We have not only been affected by the state regulations, but the film industry itself has been delaying or opted to switch to streaming most of its new releases. As a result this has made any sense of reopening that much more challenging. Other then four sidewalk concession sales and one attempted weekend with an older film, this equals a grand total of 7 days of work in almost seven months and counting. I am lucky that have been open for eleven years however and we can pull from reserves.
However one day I got a call from one of my county commission about a grant that was made available for business such as mine. But I am happy to say we got approved for the full grant! And I just got done signing all the paperwork!
Yours truly,
