The Columbus Dispatch
With the news that Gov. Mike DeWine will rescind coronavirus-related health orders June 2, the prospects of a more normal summer of arts and entertainment just improved.
The Columbus Association of Performing Arts (CAPA) which operates numerous performing-arts venues in central Ohio, including the Ohio, Southern, Palace and Lincoln theatres, as well as the venues inside the Riffe Center expressed optimism about the announcement, but could not say when audience capacity would increase at its theaters.
“Moving forward, we will continue to monitor health guidelines issued by the CDC and consult with local health officials to ensure we are doing our part to keep audiences safe,” CAPA said in a statement. “Some level of health and safety protocols will likely remain in place throughout the summer, and we will update patrons as these protocols change.”
