Despite being allowed to reopen, some theatre in Sacramento are choosing to remain closed for financial reasons, CBS Sacramento reports.
One of these is the B Street Theatre. Buck Busfield, co-founder and producing director of the B Street Theatre, talked with CBS about this issue.
"It costs money to run the theatre, and if we open at 25% capacity, it's really not enough to keep the economic engine going," he said.
Currently, theatres in Red Tier counties, including Sacramento, are allowed to be open at 10% capacity, or 100 people. Alternatively, they are allowed to hold 25% capacity if all guests show proof of a negative COVID-19 test, or full vaccination.
