COVID-19 POLICY UPDATE FROM McCARTER THEATER
|
|
|
|
Our priority is to ensure
the safety of our patrons, artists, staff, and the entire McCarter
community against COVID-19. Even as more of us are
vaccinated, we realize that COVID-19 and its variants continue to
threaten the health and, in some cases, the lives of people in the United
States and around the world.
In conversations with our audiences and artists, we know that
there is a great desire to come together and share the experience of live
performance. The science of masks, vaccines, and tests will help make
this happen.
Therefore, effective immediately, audience members age 12 and
over will be required to show proof that they are fully vaccinated
against COVID-19 before entering McCarter. Exceptions will be made for
children under 12 and people with a medical or religious exemption to
vaccination. These guests must show proof of a negative PCR test taken
within 36 hours of the performance time or a negative antigen test taken
within 6 hours of the performance time. All guests regardless of age or vaccination
status will be required to wear masks while inside the theatre building.
This audience requirement for masks and vaccines (or negative
tests) will be in addition to our staff requirement for masks and
vaccines. These policies are all part of our commitment to a return to
in-person performances that is safe, simple, and social.
These policies will be in place through December 31, 2021, and
are subject to change at any time. McCarter’s website (mccarter.org/COVID19) will always have the
latest updates.
