A Safe Return
Latest as of: 8/5/22
Our COVID-19 Safety Policies and Procedures
We are thrilled to open our doors for our 34th Season!
As our community relaxes COVID-19 prevention efforts, the risk to our work at the Commonweal increases. Just one case of COVID-19 among our artists onstage or backstage could put a stop to rehearsals and performances. While public health guidelines relax, we may maintain stricter policies to mitigate risk and help ensure our shows perform as planned. We will continue to adjust our policies as needed, and will update this page accordingly.
As of August 2, 2022, masks are strongly encouraged, but not required at the Commonweal Theatre.
- The actors you will see on stage have been fully vaccinated, and our HVAC system is running at an increased level to ensure proper ventilation. (Please be aware that this may cause the auditorium to feel cooler than normal.)
- Capacity restrictions have been lifted. We are now open at full seating capacity.
- Tickets for all shows are now available to purchase and reserve online.
Please note: regardless of masking requirements, masks are recommended if you’ve been told by a health professional to wear a mask based on your personal risk factors. If, to your knowledge, you’ve been exposed to or infected with COVID in the last five days, please stay home and reschedule your visit. If you’ve been exposed to or infected with COVID in the last 6 to 10 days, please wear a mask at all times when attending the theatre.
All details are subject to change. Please check our website frequently for updates. Information will also be sent via News & Notes, our e-newsletter, and posted on our social media platforms. If you do not currently receive News & Notes, we highly recommend subscribing by contacting our box office, or sign up HERE.
