For performances requiring masks:
- Children under 2 are not required to wear a mask.

Village Theatre continues to encourage guests at our venues to be up to date with vaccinations against COVID-19, but we will no longer require our audiences to present proof of vaccination to attend performances at Village Theatre. Vaccinations are required in other circumstances and programs.
The CDC considers an individual up-to-date on vaccinations when they have received all doses in the primary COVID vaccine series and received the most recent booster dose recommended for you. The CDC recommends that everyone 5 years and older get their primary series of COVID-19 vaccine, plus relevant boosters. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html
- All Village Theatre Staff, Artists, Arts Educators and Volunteers are required to be up to date on vaccinations against COVID-19 vaccinations.
- Students participating in Village Theatre KIDSTAGE productions are required to provide proof of full vaccination.
- For students in KIDSTAGE productions, masks will move to being required only when not actively rehearsing or performing.

To prioritize the safety and ensure the comfort and health of audiences, staff, cast, crew, and volunteers, Village Theatre continues to employ:
- Upgraded air filtration filters and increased outside airflow
- Hand sanitizing dispensers located throughout our venues
- QR code access to production information and show programs
- Increased cleaning and disinfection of touched surfaced
As public health conditions and guidance continue to change, Village Theatre management will assess theatrical unions’ requirements, artist contracts, and local, state, and federal government updates. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to work to keep our artists, staff, volunteers, and patrons healthy.
Full safety protocols will also be shared in the “know before you go” pre-show email you will receive ahead of your performance.
