Chanhassen Dinner Theatres Announces 2021 Concert Series
CDT will present live concerts, improv comedy and more.
Chanhassen Dinner Theatres has announced it will resume its live concerts and comedy shows beginning January 15 with an exciting new lineup to cheer and delight audiences, longing more than ever to get back to live entertainment experiences.
Last summer and late into the fall, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres was one of a handful of operations able to successfully present live concerts on its Main Stage and Stevie Ray's Comedy shows. While the occupancy requirement is stringent, it offers an option for guests to enjoy a rare evening out and gives CDT an opportunity to remain operational until its live theatre productions can also return. In addition, at significantly reduced capacity, they will safely be seating up to 150 people in the Main Dinner Theatre (usual occupancy is up to 600) with social distancing between parties in place. There are no additional mask requirements, but CDT will continue to emphasize the importance of mask wearing during the performance.
CDT was closed after Thanksgiving by state order. CDT President and Artistic Director Michael Brindisi stated, "Since that time we've been preparing to reopen and have put together a fantastic lineup of entertainment. Last summer we also invested in a state-of-the-art air filtration system and implemented many other safety protocols to our systems behind the scenes and in our lobby. We want their guests to be as safe as possible."
Brindisi and his team are extremely optimistic that at some point this year, even as early as this summer, Meredith Willson's THE MUSIC MAN will return. He continued, "We just can't wait. We're already planning for that happy day, when our employees and actors will be back and our audiences can experience the thrills of live theatre under our roof again."
