Foxwoods Grand Theater Announces Reopening Lineup

LEDYARD, CT — Foxwoods Resort Casino announced it will reopen the Grand Theater, resuming shows at limited capacity with safety protocols in place. The theater's return will include two performances by comedian Dave Chappelle on June 25 and 26.

The theater will open with considerable safety protocols in place, according to a statement from Foxwoods. The guidelines for live entertainment include a reconfigured theater operating at limited capacity, fewer seats to allow for more social distancing, and a structured entering and exiting process including reserved entry times to reduce crowds.

Additional safety measures include an enhanced contactless ticketing approach, mandatory face masks for audience members, and a maximized ventilation system for fresh air flow.

In addition, Chappelle will require ticket holders to present a negative COVID-19 antigen test, according to a statement. The test will be required for all guests regardless of vaccination status.

Tickets for the Chappelle show will go on sale Friday.

"The return of live entertainment at Foxwoods Resort Casino is an exciting reintroduction for the resort and our loyal guests alike," Monique Sebastian, VP of Entertainment and Entertainment Marketing at Foxwoods, said in a statement. "In October 2020, Foxwoods was one of the first destinations in the US to cautiously reintroduce live entertainment in a large-scale theater and led the industry with standard-setting safety procedures, and we’re thrilled to once again set the stage for an exciting season of entertainment."

Foxwoods’ lineup of entertainment this spring and summer also includes New England comedian Bob Marley on March 27, to the Indigo Girls on April 24 and singer John Legend on Aug. 27. T
