COVID-19 Policy

COVID-19 Safety Policies (as of 6/6/23)

Amherst Community Theater adheres to all government recommended safety
guidelines. Our policies are subject to change as conditions and guidance from
health authorities change. 


Masks are optional at rehearsals, the set shop, and the costume shop for cast
members, team members, volunteers, and guests. There may be some occasions
when cast members and team members will be required to wear a mask.


Because we will be using public facilities (Bangs Center, Amherst Schools, Bowker
Auditorium) for rehearsals and performances, there may be additional safety
requirements for participants and audience members. 


We expect all participants in our productions to be respectful of our policies and
adhere to them in good faith.


If you have questions, please contact the producers at producer@amherstacts.org

Illness Protocols (as of 6/6/23)

Cast members who are symptomatic should contact Sam Karlin, the rehearsal stage
manager, at stagemanager@amherstacts.org or 413-265-8900 to let us know you
will be missing rehearsals or performances due to Covid or other illnesses.


Cast members who test positive for Covid should not return to rehearsals or
performances until symptoms are improving, there is no fever without medication,
and it has been at least 5 days since first symptoms or a positive test, whichever
came first.


If someone in your household has Covid or if you have been exposed to someone
with Covid, you must test negative before coming to rehearsal.


If you have any doubt about whether you are ill with Covid, please test before
coming to rehearsals or performances.


These policies are subject to change as conditions change.
