The Capitol Centre has made the difficult decision to cancel the Annual BluesFest event which is normally scheduled in September.
Many fall shows have also been pushed into the early part of 2021 in an effort to ensure proper preparation for reopening safely when public gathering restrictions are eased says a news release.
As a result, the 2020-2021 season will be a condensed version of what was originally planned with the bulk of performances happening during the winter and spring months.
"The Season Launch event, which introduces the new season of performances, will be delayed until this fall when we anticipate having more information for all of our patrons," according to the release.
Enhanced cleaning and disinfection measures continue throughout the building, but additional health and safety mandates are expected prior to re-opening. Capitol Centre staff are diligently preparing for that moment and look forward to welcoming everyone back in the near future.
“Although we are still awaiting official direction as to what the post-pandemic world of entertainment will look like, we know it will be very different from what we are used to,” says Katina Connolly, Executive Director.
The Capitol Centre has focused efforts during the pandemic on curating and presenting online entertainment to keep people engaged with music, theatre, and art. A mix of local, national, and international entertainment has been showcased as part of the Capitol Centre’s monthly virtual-event calendars on Facebook.
