Colorado Rising... |
This is a difficult time for all of us. A pandemic is not just a public health threat. It is also an economic threat to virtually every business in the country. That threat has become a stark reality for the Denver theater community.
Nearly every live theater company in Denver, Boulder and beyond has taken a hiatus. Despite the economic losses from closing their doors, company after company has put the safety of their audiences ahead of their now busted budgets. Shutting off the box office for even a short period can mean the difference between survival and disaster for many theaters.
During this hiatus, those impacted by the shutdown may experience financial or medical emergencies. For those who qualify, Colorado unemployment benefits may help bridge the gap. If you contract Covid-19, the Denver Actor’s Fund may be able to help with your medical expenses. For emergency housing and other assistance, check these resources.
Some of us will get sick; many more will lose income. Don’t hesitate to reach out for help for your medical and/or financial needs. We are all in this together.
Break a leg. The show WILL go on.
