An update on our COVID-19 Protocols for the 2023 Season
After examining statewide, nationwide, and industry-wide policies, as well as recommendations from the CDC and local health departments, we are planning to lift our vaccination requirement for audience members and volunteers during the 2023 season. Full time staff and company members will still be required to be fully vaccinated.
We are so excited to have reached the point where we can welcome each and every member of our community back into the theater again this year. We have greatly appreciated your compliance with our protocols for the past two years; we know the requirement has been challenging, restrictive and frustrating. Believe us when we say, we wish we didn’t have to do it. However, it is worth noting that we have managed to navigate the past two seasons with no cancellations or call-outs due to cases of COVID-19 within our company and crew in both 2021 and 2022. That’s right, zero.
At a time when it seemed impossible, your support and commitment to these protocols has allowed us to confidently and safely produce live theater during a pandemic – which is pretty incredible. We are so proud of our community and truly cannot thank you enough.
All that being said, we do not know what the future will bring and if there were to be an extreme change in the course of the virus leading to worsening conditions, we reserve the right to reimplement this policy if necessary. However, if our policies on vaccinations change and you are no longer able to attend, any tickets you purchase will be fully refunded.
As for our mask requirement, we are also planing to lift that requirement. However, we are continuing to examine this policy and will make a final determination closer to the beginning of the season. We will keep you updated on any changes, and will publish our final 2023 COVID-19 Protocols by May 1st, 2023.
In the meantime, stay safe, stay healthy, and get excited for Summer 2023!
With Gratitude,
The Mac-Haydn Theatre COVID-19 Compliance Team
