Our venue is regularly  disinfected at all high touch areas within the venue,
including seats, handrails and door handles, counter tops, and restrooms. In addition to our staff efforts, we also are
​contracting professional cleaning services to help us keep the space sanitized.

Other actions we are taking to remain operational:
• Tickets are being sold at a reduced capacity, photo ID check-in, and contact-free payment option available for every ticket purchased online or in person.
• The first row of seating is blocked off so that the audience is placed further back from the stage.
• Shows have been selected with small cast sizes.
