Each protocol was developed with our local community in mind, and we’ll be constantly monitoring our approach to ensure the highest level of security.” With our new entertainment guidelines, we feel confident we have developed a new standard of safety not only for our guests, team members, and artists, but for the entertainment industry as a whole. “We’ve remained fiercely committed to only reopening parts of the resort when we feel it is safe to do so. “We have been intricately planning how to safely resume live, indoor entertainment for over four months which resulted in a thoughtful and slow process to ensure we rebuilt the right infrastructure in our theaters,” said Monique Sebastian, VP of Entertainment and Entertainment Marketing at Foxwoods Resort Casino. Developed by local experts and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe’s Chief Medical Officer, new guidelines include a reconfigured theater operating at 25% capacity, featuring fewer seats to allow for more social distancing and a safer entering and exiting process reserved entry times to eliminate crowds an enhanced contactless ticketing approach mandatory face masks (aside from the performer on-stage) groups spaced a minimum of three seats apart and a maximized ventilation system for fresh air flow. The reopening of the Grand Theater brings a new wave of considerable safety protocols on top of the resort’s already extensive plan. Foxwoods is one of the first destinations in the US to cautiously reintroduce live entertainment in a large-scale theater. Tribute band Almost Queen is set to perform next on November 5 with additional acts to follow throughout November and December. The resort’s return to hosting live performances began with comedian Bob Marley on October 16 and 17, ushering in a safe and successful start.
