COVID Safety Guidelines for Theatre School classes & productions:
We care about your safety and that of our students, patrons, artists, and staff. We work hard to ensure that our facilities and procedures are in compliance with recommended Covid-19 health and safety guidelines. We want to reassure you that all of our staff, performers, ushers, crew, and volunteers are fully vaccinated. Our attendance policies are decided in accordance with CDC, State, local, and union health recommendations and may be adjusted as needed based on public health data.
In alignment with the State of California, which has removed mask and vaccine requirements for indoor events, effective April 12th, North Coast Repertory Theatre will not require students or patrons to provide proof of vaccination or to wear masks while attending shows or events. However, we still strongly recommend mask-wearing and urge our students and patrons to be vaccinated.
If you are feeling sick or exhibiting any COVID-19-like symptoms, or if you have been exposed to COVID-19 within five days of attending a class or performance, we recommend you stay home and contact your teacher to notify them of your absence or Patron Services to reschedule your tickets. They can be reached at (858) 481-1055 or boxoffice@northcoastrep.org
To ensure your health and safety, we have updated our attendance policy. We will continually be reviewing. Please check back here for any additional updates.
