Theaters disagree with Karel Heřmánek's letter to the Prime Minister

19/09/2020

The Association of Professional Theatres and the Association of Independent Theatres distance themselves from Karel Heřmánek's request to close all theatres in the country as a precaution, formulated in a letter to the Prime Minister.

This is a completely unique position that has no support among other theaters. The auditoriums are safe for the audience. Concern for actors and employees is understandable, as is concern for business. This situation threatens the future of all theaters, but continuing with restrictions is a more reasonable position for the future of culture, society and the economy.
