Lied events canceled or rescheduled through April 16, 2020

All major events at the Lied Center for Performing Arts have been canceled or rescheduled through April 16, 2020. Lied Center Executive Director Bill Stephan said, “We are determined to do our part to protect the health and safety of our audiences, artists, volunteers, and staff - particularly those who are most vulnerable to this disease. The World Health Organization has declared the coronavirus a worldwide pandemic and we do not make these decisions lightly.”

CDC recommendations were issued on March 15, 2020 that gatherings of 50 people or more in the United States be canceled or postponed over the next eight weeks because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Governor Pete Ricketts has followed this recommendation and implemented this guidance for the state of Nebraska, asking all events and gatherings be less than 50 people.
