As the curtain rose on “Nomadland” at Lincoln Theater March 19, Andrew Fenniman couldn’t have been happier. The sold out audience of 50, masked and socially distanced, was ready – despite the pandemic.
Despite the state’s 50% capacity for theaters, opera houses and the like, at this point during the pandemic, Fenniman said the theater will probably stay at 50 for quite some time, or maybe 60.
“We could have 125 people, but we want people to be safe, and to feel safe,” Fenniman said.
To that end, Fenniman oversaw the upgrading of the ventilation system. Air from the outside passes through the new disinfection filters of UV-C lights and bipolar ionization six times per hour. Inside air is replaced by outside air twice each hour.
