As BroadwayWorld previously reported, the Fox has currently furloughed three employees fully, and three others partially, according to

Spindler says that the part-time employees will only work only 5 hours a week for essential work. He says that he is one of the part-time essential employees.

To make up for the lost income, the theater has been allowing people to purchase the marquee sign for 24-hours for a fee. So far, it's generated $25,000. This still isn't enough to cover costs, as the theatre's monthly costs are between $10,500-to-$12,500 per month, not including staff.
