After Kreviazuk, Conexus Arts Centre eyeing more small shows

The music is to return to Regina’s Conexus Arts Centre this weekend, with Chantal Kreviazuk playing two sold-out shows.

CEO Neil Donnelly says organizers have capped the audience at 150 and are keeping visitors to their own groups due to COVID-19 restrictions.

As well, visitors will be able to order food and drinks by text.

“We sold out both nights already so it certainly seems that people are wanting to get back out again and want to do it in a safe way,” Donnelly said during the Greg Morgan Morning Show on Monday.

Donnelly said if the shows go well, Conexus Arts Centre officials will aim to host more in the future.

He said they have been contacting other Canadian artists, as international performers are out of the question.

“Artists are going to have to do it in a really smaller-scale fashion. They can’t tour with big entourages and big production crews,” Donnelly said.

Within a month, another show announcement is expected.

“Under normal circumstances we’re doing 10 events or more a month. If we can get one a month, I’d be really, really happy,” Donnelly said.
