As we continue to see the presence of COVID-19 in the form of the Omicron and Delta variants moving through our community, we plan to continue the process we implemented in fall of 2021. Please see below for details on our requirements of patrons and attending events hosted by The Center.
All events hosted by The Center will require patrons to:
- Wear a mask at all times inside the facility, except when actively eating or drinking, and
- Show proof of full vaccination from COVID-19, or
- For those unable to be vaccinated, proof of a negative COVID-19 test result received within 72 hours of the event will be accepted. Negative test results must be from a test provider, a laboratory, or a health care provider in order to be accepted.

Center Safety Measures for In-Person Theater Events
The Center is limiting audience events in the theater to a 100-person audience to ensure social distancing. The airflow in The Center has been stepped up to bring more outside air in and circulate old air out. The HVAC filtration has all been upgraded to Merv 13 filtration to guarantee the highest quality of air. Before and after each show The Center’s sanitizer fogger will be run through the theater to ensure the space has been sanitized for patrons.
In-person audience members will be asked to show either print at home tickets or e-tickets in order to eliminate person-to-person contact, standard paper tickets will not be available from The Center Box Office. Masks will be required at all times, if a patron is seated in a ticketed seat they may temporarily remove their mask to enjoy a beverage, but are asked to replace it when not drinking. In addition, The Center’s concessions offerings will be limited and patrons are asked to only visit the concession stand once and make a one-time purchase. Bathroom use during the show is limited, please use restrooms before or after the performance.
You’ll notice green dots on the floor in the lobby as you enter, these are our 6-foot markers, please as you enter the theater use these to practice social distancing.
