RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) Indoor event spaces like downtown Raleigh s Duke Energy Center for Performing Arts center can reopen starting Friday with crowds up to 250 people that s a tough number to make money with. And, around the corner at Red Hat Amphitheater, larger crowds of concert-goers could be allowed inside. But it would be a struggle as well. I really think that today s announcement was a huge step in a positive direction, said Randy McKay, who recently took the reins as President and CEO of Durham s Carolina Theatre.
McKay took charge in the throes of a pandemic that s thrown the live music industry into a tailspin. COVID canceled the Carolina s movie house, its community events and its main money-making source: touring concert acts.
Teachers, child care workers and other educational support staff like custodians, cafeteria workers and bus drivers can start signing up for COVID-19 vaccines today.
