For the comfort and safety of patrons at higher risk of adverse health effects from airborne illnesses, masks will be required for audiences in our theatres on Sundays (matinees and evenings) and Tuesdays for the first three weeks of each show’s run during our 2024/25 season.

• The Sunday and Tuesday performances provide equitable access to weekdays/weekends, performance times, and price points, including previews.
• Masks must cover both the nose and mouth.
• We encourage the use of procedural masks (either alone or with a cloth mask on top) or higher-grade N95 or KN95 masks.
• No eating or drinking inside the theatres during these performances.
• Masks will be optional in the Narsai M. David Courtyard, Michael’s Second Act bar, and our indoor lobbies. Eating and drinking are permitted in these areas.

Masks are encouraged but will be optional for audiences in our theatres for all performances from Wednesday through Saturday, as well as Sundays and Tuesdays after the first three weeks of a show’s run, during our 2024/25 season.

• Beverages in cans, cartons, or plastic cups with lids are welcome in the theatres during these performances. Food is not permitted inside the theatres during any performance.

Proof of vaccination will not be required for audience members in our 2024/25 season.

Our COVID-19 safety protocols will continue to be reviewed and revised based on the advice of medical experts, government guidance, and evolving circumstances. We appreciate your understanding.
