Most Cleveland theaters are not expecting to produce another show until 2021 at the earliest, and the shutdown and loss of ticket sales have led to layoffs and budget cuts. Despite these challenges, they plan to reopen. Right now, they’re taking time to complete renovations and upgrades and plan for reopening safely while trying out new approaches with virtual programming.
Bop Stop manager Gabe Pollack says it’s too early to restart the concert venue, which could open as a bar or restaurant on May 21st but still can’t provide live music. However, he’s looking into other creative ways to get things bopping again. He’s researching holding outdoor concerts, possibly in the Bop Stop parking lot or the small park along the Shoreway, to provide socially distanced live music.
