Indoor theater has been shuttered in New York City for more than a year, due to safety concerns associated with the Covid-19 pandemic.
But there are indications of slow movement on this front.
Friday is opening night for Blindness
at the off-Broadway Daryl Roth Theatre. At a recent preview, there was a short line outside the theater, where invited patrons waited to see the show a piece based on a novel by José Saramago.
Before entering, a staffer gave instructions: During the 70-minute-long show, there would be no intermission, no re-entry and no public restroom. Attendees had temperatures checked and showed tickets on phones. Then they walked, alone or in pairs, to socially distanced seats spread about the vast auditorium.

As New York regulations begin to allow performance venues to reopen their doors, Off-Broadwayâs Daryl Roth Theatre welcomes audiences back to its space beginning April 2 for the socially distanced sound and light experience
Blindness. The open-ended engagement marks one of the first live, ticketed events to open in New York City since the coronavirus shutdown.
Inspired by José Saramagoâs dystopian novel and adapted by Simon Stephens, the piece charts perhaps familiar territoryâa sudden global pandemicâthat leaves its victims without sight. Audiences experience the story, as narrated by Olivier winner Juliet Stevenson, through binaural headphone technology while immersed in an atmospheric design.
