For the folks wanting a little more info on The Broadway's recent decision to lower our capacity, check the article from our pals at CBC

Hello #yxe community & Broadway supporters As you know, #Covid-19 cases in #Saskatchewan have risen dramatically in recent weeks. Saskatchewan Health Authority have issued revised orders for gatherings with reduction to the number of people allowed to gather. Although the Broadway Theatre is on the listing of Allowable Businesses and technically, we can still operate at ~100 people maximum our team has decided the responsible thing for the Broadway is to reduce our ma...ximum capacity to 30, effective today, Nov 16, 2020. We will keep this reduction in place until Dec 15 and revisit at that time. We just wrapped a hugely successful fundraising campaign, thanks to you! This was with the goal of being fiscally stable and getting to the other side of Covid-19 as a flourishing, healthy organization. We also want to do the right, responsible thing in our community to keep patrons, staff and volunteers healthy. This reduction of capacity to 30 will be an important part of that. Stay tuned to our website and socials for news and updates, and know that we all are LOOKING FORWARD to again seeing you at the Broadway when it is safe to do so. And remember - Wear a mask. Protect each other. Wash your hands. Love each other.
