The application fee is $20 with no permit fee, and application deadline is 15 days prior to event date; The Broadway League’s new Chair, Lauren Reid, is all addressing the continued shutdown of Broadway with a lot of hard work, compassion, and determination together with all of the Broadway community at hand.

Since last March, Broadway’s unprecedented shutdown continues to rave, and rage on, affecting theater directly, and every business that benefits from performances on Broadway, Broadway’s shutdown is scheduled to continue to at least May 30, with a possible return in 2022.
