Patron Safety

The comfort and safety of our patrons and volunteers remains top of mind. In common with other theatres, we are being guided by our patrons and volunteers in adopting a prudent return to business-as-usual.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR SAFETY INCLUDES

We are applying the following practices to our 2024-25, 51st season:

  • Mandatory masking is required for the second Friday performance (2FR) of each show. 
  • At all 2FR performances where a mask is required, patrons and front-of-house staff must wear a mask covering both nose and mouth the entire time they are on theatre premises, except to briefly remove when eating or drinking.  At other performances, we strongly recommend that patrons wear masks.
  • We ask all patrons to self-monitor for COVID and other respiratory diseases. The Ontario government recommends avoiding public settings and wearing a mask for a period of 10 days from when your symptoms first started, you tested positive, or you have spent a lot of time with someone symptomatic. If this should apply to you, please do NOT attend a performance. We are more than happy to reschedule it or provide a refund.
  • We have installed updated air conditioning with ventilation that brings in fresh air from outside, along with UVC purification, designed for hospitals, to kill viruses in the air.
  • To support our ability to keep you safe, please ensure we have a valid phone number and/or email address on file so that we can keep you informed as our protocols evolve as required.

We look forward to celebrating live theatre together. Thank you for supporting our efforts to keep patrons, and volunteers safe at all times. For our latest updates, visit villageplayers.net.
