Covid-19 Precautions

With support of health professionals, we are taking measures to protect the health and safety of our performers, staff and volunteers, to include temperature checks and physical distancing wherever prudent. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness or death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, those with underlying medical conditions and senior citizens are especially vulnerable.
