On Thursday New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio announced plans for a Fall 2021 reopening of Broadway and Off Broadway performances. The city will be opening dedicated vaccination sites in the coming weeks for the theater community. Now is the time to offer your services for signage, printing, and awning needs.
Broadway Brings Hope
Broadway is the cultural center of the world. It is central to New York City's identity. It is what people know and love about us.
To get the theater industry ready to reopen in the fall, we must prepare now. That includes setting up vaccination sites dedicated to theater workers, located in the heart of the theater district, and staffed by theater community members.
The city will also set up mobile units for Off-Broadway locations.
The theater provides 100,000 jobs and is a $15 Billion industry. We need to revive it and it has to happen now.
"The hope that comes with live performance, the hope that comes from our cultural community is absolutely crucial," said De Blasio in his press conference today.
"This is going to be a year to turn things around, and our artists, our performers, our cultural community are going to lead the way . . . It is time to raise the curtain and bring Broadway back."
Signs for Vaccination Sites
Vaccination sites will need wayfinding signs including floor vinyl with social distancing messages. Read our complete floor vinyl guide here.
Besides vaccination sites, many industries will need signage. See how you can benefit from the Top 25 Markets for Printing in 2021.
