Dear Shadow Minister,
This is written in capital letters!
Not everyone can work from home!
Please assist where you can. We turn to you as Shadow Minister, since the Minister is just a shadow....
THE CURRENT CAPACITY LIMITS ARE KILLING THEATRES AND THE ARTISTS AND COWORKERS THAT DEPEND ON THESE SPACES TO MAKE A LIVING. WHILST RESTAURANTS, CASINOS AND SHOPPING MALLS CAN DETERMINE CAPACITY BASED ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL SQUARE FOOTAGE, THEATRES HAVE NOT BEEN AFFORDED THE SAME RIGHT.
MANY THEATRES HAVE BEEN CLOSED SINCE MARCH 2020 AND WITH THAT THE LIVELIHOODS OF MANY ARTISTS AND CO-WORKERS HAVE BEEN OBLITERATED.
Future replies will be published here.
