The Capitol Center for the Arts is planning to reopen with full capacity at both its theaters by August 1, although it is still working out the details.
“In May, we typically announce the upcoming season of shows. We are working to make that happen before the end of the month,” the group said in an announcement Wednesday.
The downtown arts organization has hosted just a small handful of indoor and outdoor shows over the past year. So far this season it has scheduled four outdoor shows in Fletcher-Murphy Park on Fayette Street in June and July, and a limited attendance album-release event in the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion on July 16.
But in the latest sign that things are opening up, the Center also scheduled a fall show in its main Chubb Theater: musician John Hiatt on Sept. 19.
“If our sales this past week are any indication, it looks like many of you are ready to attend some shows!” the Center said in its announcement.
The state is lifting most pandemic-related restrictions on performing venues as of May 7.
