VACCINATIONS

• All guest artists are required to be vaccinated unless they have a medical

  or religious exemption. Upon contracting, proof of vaccination shall be

  provided to The Rep.

TESTING:

• Fully vaccinated artists will be tested for COVID-19 weekly.

MASKS

• Artists will wear masks at all times, except when they are rehearsing or performing on stage.
• The Rep will provide reusable masks and artists may also use their own masks as long as masks result in at least three layers. Rep-branded masks are one or two layers, and therefore must be worn along with other masks to result in three total layers. Artists are expected to clean and sanitize their own masks regularly. Disposable masks (with a minimum of three layers) will also be available in the rehearsal hall as a back-up option.

SYMPTOM MONITORING

• All guest artists should self-monitor and be hyper aware of the presentation of any symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, coughing, shortness of breath, or lack of smell/taste. In the event that any guest artist has symptoms of COVID-19, they should not report to work in person, and contact Company Management immediately.

POD BEHAVIOR

• Guest artists are expected to follow social distancing guidelines and wear masks in any public space, even when not at work.
• Guest artists are also expected to minimize potential exposure to COVID by only spending time in shared public spaces when necessary, and avoiding crowds, particularly unmasked crowds.
• If guest artists host visitors, those visitors must be fully vaccinated and provide a negative COVID-19 test in order to enter the “bubble.” PCR lab results must be dated within 72 hours, and antigen (rapid) lab results must be dated within 24 hours of entering the “bubble.” Entering the "bubble" includes, but is not limited to, joining group events such as opening night, or entering the backstage are Testing of artist visitors will be at the expense of the artist or visitor, not the theatre. Proof of vaccination and negative test results should be sent to Company Management and you must receive written approval from Company Management before guests are allowed to enter the "bubble."

REHEARSALS

• All rehearsals are closed and only essential personnel are allowed entry.

SOCIAL DISTANCING:

• At least 6 feet of distance will be maintained between artists and the audience.
• Artists will maintain 6 foot distances from one another, except when they are rehearsing or performing.

REDUCED CAPACITY

• All workspaces will be operated at 25% capacity, in order to allow for social distancing and to improve ventilation.
