Under the Stars at Phoenix Theater Company.
In November 2020, The Phoenix Theatre Company implemented an outdoor stage to create a safe space for entertaining patrons during the pandemic, and the venue has continued to receive supportive feedback.
After closing down for the first time in its 100-year history, the theatre installed an outdoor stage in the courtyard of Central United Methodist Church this past November to continue producing shows.
The outside venue brought new aspects that the theatre had to take into account while planning shows they never considered before the pandemic.
Luis Terrazas, the Director of Patron Experience, explained their safety protocols to keep their audience safe. He described the two chairs per pod configuration with each chair surrounded by six feet of space.
