Creative Cauldron 2021 COVID-19 Protocols

Please Read Carefully

These are the protocols that we will have in place during our in person theatrical season.  We are committed to providing a safe environment and will take all the necessary steps available to us to avoid any exposure to COVID 19.  We also need your help and due diligence in protecting you, and will require patrons to self-screen for symptoms. We will continue to monitor pandemic metrics in our community and CDC and Fairfax County Health Department recommendations. We are all in this together, and we're depending on your good sense, honesty, and support to come back safe and strong.

Experiencing symptoms? STAY HOME. Contact us about ticket exchange. We will do our best to accommodate you.

Masking

  • Masks are required at all times for all patrons and visitors regardless of vaccination status during all indoor performances. Masks must be worn in the lobby, inside the theater,  and restrooms.
  • Performance ticket holders who do not comply with these policies will not be admitted or permitted to remain in the theater.
  • Masks will be available onsite at the Box Office for patrons who do not have their own.
  • Performing artists will perform unmasked only if they are fully vaccinated and have tested negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours of their performance.
  • While all Creative Cauldron staff and volunteers are fully vaccinated, they are required to wear a mask at all times during all indoor performances.
  • Concessions will be offered outdoors.

Seating & No Contact

  • NEW: Theater will now be seated at full capacity. If you're looking for social-distanced seating, Thursday night performances of The Christmas Angel will have assigned social distanced seating  between parties. This happens automatically when you purchase your ticket. For this reason, seats cannot be changed.**
  • No or low-touch options, such as contactless ticketing when entering our venues and digital programs available directly from your smartphone
  • Hand sanitizer stations throughout the venue
  • Disinfected high touch surfaces at greater frequency and between performances
  • Air Scrubbers to maximize air circulation
  • Late Seating is offered at the discretion of the Box Office Manager and based on availability. It is best to buy your tickets in advance.
**These policies will be regularly reviewed/revised based on CDC guidelines and the level of community spread.

Vaccination & Testing Proof/Screening

  • Proof of vaccination is required for all patrons 12 and older to enter. Vaccine cards, unobscured/unaltered photos of your vaccine card, or official state vaccination records are acceptable.
  • For Those with Medical Exceptions:
  1. Proof of a negative Covid-19 test is required to enter the theater. 
  2. All CDC-approved tests, including home tests, are accepted.
  3. Test must have been completed within 72 hours of the performance.
  4. You will be subject to screening at the door including a questionnaire.
Patrons who do not cooperate with any or all of these strategies will be required to leave the premises immediately.

All staff and volunteers are required to be fully vaccinated.

Communication

 Should any patron, volunteer, or staff member develop COVID 19 symptoms, the audience will be notified. Patrons are required to notify us if they or anyone in their household tests positive for COVID 19.
