Theater Safety Guidelines

For In-Person Activities

Updated Considerations for In-Person Rehearsal and Instruction


After extensive review and consideration, new safety guidance regarding in-person rehearsal and instruction is now available. To summarize, we can and should be creating and performing theater in person, and guidance highlights include:


  • 3-ft. social distancing at all times
  • masks at all times
  • modified indoor instruction
  • increased ventilation
