COVID Safety Procedures
Our workshops will necessarily look a little different as we attempt to create the safest environment possible during the COVID era. The following procedures will be in place, in accordance with current state guidelines:
All staff, volunteers, and participants will be temperature and symptom-checked prior to entering the building each day. Anyone with COVID symptoms and/or a temperature greater than 100 degrees will not be allowed to participate.
All participants will be required to arrive wearing a face covering. Face coverings will be kept on throughout the day.
We will practice social distancing to the extent possible. Social distancing restrictions will be eased for a limited duration for certain activities throughout the day.
All staff, volunteers, and participants will be required to wash their hands upon entering the building. Hand sanitizer will be available as well.
Our facility will undergo a complete cleaning and sanitization each day, and high-touch surfaces will be disinfected multiple times throughout the day.
Some activities will be conducted outdoors to maximize fresh air access.
It is important to note that while we are taking diligent steps to reduce the possibility of COVID-19 transmission, we cannot eliminate this risk.
Auditions and Roles
Auditions will be held on the first day of the workshop. It is not necessary to prepare any audition material in advance; materials will be provided for you. All participants will be cast, through not all participants will be assigned a named part or speaking role.
Performance
Due to the current restrictions in place we are unable to hold a live performance with an audience. Instead, the final performance will be presented via livestream, as well as captured on a professionally produced video recording. Livestream access will require a purchased ticket. The recording will be available for purchase.
