COVID-19 Policy Update – as of 8/1/2022

The safety of our patrons, volunteers, cast, and crew is of the utmost importance to us. Our policy for Steel Magnolias rehearsals/performances and for Jesus Christ Superstar auditions will be as follows:   Patrons: When attending a show, masks are optional, but strongly encouraged. We reserve the right to increase masks requirements, based on current county risk levels. Actors: Must be fully vaccinated (as according to the CDC) to audition. During auditions, masks are strongly encouraged, but it is up to the director’s discretion with mandatory 6 foot minimum social distancing, for example, if needing to see facial expressions, etc. Actors will be fully masked during rehearsals. Masks can come off when onstage during tech week and performances. Masks will still be worn backstage.
