Health and Safety Protocols for Encore Theatre Group Encore Theatre Group is thrilled to welcome you back to in-person events, including performances, summer camps, and rehearsals! The health and safety of our audiences, performers, crews, and staff is our greatest priority. As such, we will be implementing health and safety measures to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne communicable diseases, as advised by the state, city, county, and professional theatre industry standards. We take the health and safety of all of our participants very seriously. Due to evolving health and safety guidance and conditions, all health and safety measures are subject to change at Encore’s sole discretion. For programs beginning August 6th, 2023 and later, the following guidelines are currently in place. Thank you for your support in ensuring the health and safety of everyone, Masks Masks are currently not required for rehearsals. Anyone who wishes to may mask at any time. If there are active exposures in rehearsal to airborne contagious diseases including COVID and the flu, we may at times require masking for one or more rehearsals by all participants. At those times, participants will be expected to wear the appropriate medical grade mask as described in any masking announcement. Masks will be required backstage during all in theater tech days/weeks. Masks may also be required backstage during performances. Masks are currently recommended but not required for audience members. Absence due to Illness If a participant does not feel well we request that they stay home to ensure the safety of others and prevent the spread of disease. For this reason, we limit declared absences in our programs to enable us to accommodate absences due to illness. If you are recovering from an illness we request that you mask as recommended by the CDC for the full amount of time when you return to rehearsal. Cleanliness Hand sanitizer is available upon request at all rehearsals. Please wash your hands after eating and using the restroom. In the theater, do not share props or costumes unless directed to by the staff. All microphones are cleaned and sanitized after every use. No sharing of personal grooming items such as hairbrushes or towels is allowed, and no sharing of makeup items. |

Prior to attending a public gathering or event, please learn more about the risks involved and evaluate your individual risk level.
