What is that?
It's a duck pond.
Why aren't there any ducks?
I don't know. There's never any ducks.

Oddly, the phrase Potemkin shutdown - I say oddly because it seems so apropos - results in only three Google hits, all eventually linking to the same syndicated article.*

The phrase shutdown theater/theatre has a combined count of over 40,000 hits.  It expresses the same concept, but lacks, I feel, a certain historical resonance.  Or antiresonance, since the purpose here is the exact opposite of its namesake.**

* Though I admit I didn't search in Russian.
** Which may not have actually happened anyway.
