We are aware that mask requirements are being lifted in some communities, but please note that Actors’ Equity* is requiring that actors perform only at theaters where audiences are required to wear masks.

Thank you for working with us to keep our community safe, especially for those who are most vulnerable. We will continue to follow the science and anticipate our guidelines will change as conditions change. We recommend that you check our website for the current policy before every visit to the Playhouse.

*Actors’ Equity Association is the Union of the Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.
