It will announce the remainder of the 2021 lineup "soon," according to a Facebook post, and its 2022 season Oct. 1.
Murry's will initially be operating at one-third capacity and adjust seating as needed; guests and staff who are not fully vaccinated must wear a face mask when not eating or drinking and "everyone is encouraged to practice social distancing while moving throughout the building," the Facebook post notes.
The theater has also installed a bipolar ionization system into its air-conditioning units, which reduce airborne viruses, bacteria, mold and odors.
