This next story is going to demonstrate that I can admit that I was wrong – and that it doesn’t make me happy.  The off-Broadway production of Stomp will resume performances at the Orpheum Theatre on July 20^th.  They have announced that everyone walking into the theatre – cast, crew, staff, and audience – must present proof of vaccination AND wear a mask.  While I am totally in favor of people being vaccinated, I question the legality of requiring proof for admission – especially for Stomp!  I can only speak for myself, but I ain’t gonna risk losing my original vaccination card to see a bunch of guys banging on anything…unless it’s me!

As I told you last week, the Crown & Anchor is requiring proof of vaccine for patrons to their popular dance parties – something I support.  Following suit in Ptown is The Boatslip for their popular tea dance – in addition to many dance clubs around the country.  And Pride Night at LA’s Dodger Stadium will require proof of vaccination to attend the game and post-game fireworks.  This may very well be the new normal.  Along with that new normal are the new ways around it.  Google searches for fake coronavirus vaccination cards are up by 1,000%.
