Anacostia Playhouse Vaccination Policy For Indoor, In-Person Productions

Safety first. Vaccination Update.

Theaters across the greater Washington, D.C. area have united to provide the highest level of public safety for their audiences, staff, and volunteers by requiring that their audiences provide proof of vaccination to attend all live public performances at their indoor venues. 

The Anacostia Playhouse is joining our colleagues in the theater community in requiring proof of vaccination for indoor, in-person productions. This mandate will be in effect through the end of the year. Theatre Washington, the area’s alliance of theater organizations, has developed the following collective standards:

• Audiences will be required to provide proof of vaccination to attend live, indoor performances through December 31, 2021. This date will be reevaluated in October.

• Patrons must show proof that they are fully vaccinated when entering the theater.

• Vaccinations will be required for both performers and staff.

• Exemptions will be available for those unable to be vaccinated such as children under 12, those with certain medical conditions preventing vaccination, or those with closely held religious beliefs that prevent vaccination. These patrons must provide proof of a negative COVID 19 test taken 48 hours before performance start time.

• Masks will be required for audience members except when eating or drinking.
