Why are our Utah officials comfortable taking PPP money for their families and associates but letting unemployment lapse for thousands of people this week? Why do we need to search for work when we just bailed you out? #utpol #EquityStrong #UtahTheatre

Today's visit is a lot like my last visit to this theatre company. Crowd looks slightly smaller (300-350), and chairs are placed even further apart than at the last show. #utahtheatre

Russell T. Warne 🇺🇸🇨🇱@Russwarne

Socially distanced theatre: crowd is ~400 in a venue that fits 3000. People wearing masks when they leave their seats (and many always wearing masks). Chairs are placed far apart, and ushers have 6-ft long pool noodles to ensure that groups on blankets are far enough apart.
