COVID PROTOCOLS AND RESTRICTIONS:
At this point we anticipate that the state will be lifting the COVID restrictions on June 15, and so these performances will be at full capacity without social distancing. We are encouraging everyone to be either vaccinated or have a negative test within 72 hours prior to coming to the theater. Masks will be suggested for those who are not vaccinated, but not required. As we move closer to the June 15th date, if any of the guidelines or restrictions change we will update the website and also send a notice to all ticket buyers.
Our structural COVID mitigation efforts will continue. We have installed hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the facility, and also added a print at home or digital ticket option. Most importantly, our HVAC is set to use 100% fresh air from outside, and we have installed the CDC and CAL-OSHA recommended MERV-13 filters. Our HVAC system provides a complete turnover of the air in the theater 7.35 times and hour, and In addition we have added portable HEPA air purifiers in the dressing rooms, and by the theater lobby door. The Center Stage staff is all fully vaccinated and has been COVID Compliance Certified. Our highest priority is the safety of our performers, audience members and staff. We want everyone to be safe and feel comfortable being at the theater. If you have any questions or concerns please email us at 805-963-8198, we want to hear what your are thinking and feeling.
