A Safe Return
Latest as of: 8/19/21
Our COVID-19 Safety Policies and Procedures
After more than a year, we are thrilled to open our doors and welcome you back to the Commonweal!
In accordance with the CDC and State of Minnesota recommendations, we’re altering our COVID-19 protocol:
- Mask Mandate:
Fillmore County is currently in the “High Risk” category, as defined by the CDC. Therefore, our policy around masking has been changed.
In the interest of public safety, the Commonweal Theatre Board of Directors has instituted a mask mandate. All patrons, regardless of vaccination status, are required to be masked at all times in our building.
If for any reason you are unable to be masked, we encourage you to take advantage of our virtual offerings. Ask our staff for more details or CLICK HERE. Thank you for doing your part to keep theatre safe and thriving!
Reminder: All shows are available for streaming.
- 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.
- 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.
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. And follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter—see the links at left (for desktop users) or below (for mobile users).
