Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you are unhappy with the Government's approach regarding theatres and the arts community, but it's not clear what you want the Government to do. Additionally, theatres are already allowed to open, although there are restrictions on how they can operate.
