COVID-19 Safety/Mask Policies (as of 12/18/23)
Amherst Community Theater adheres to all government recommended safety guidelines. Our policies are subject to change as conditions and guidance from health authorities change.
Once we move into Bowker Auditorium, masks will be required for all cast members, backstage team members, and volunteers both when downstairs in the green rooms and when backstage.
Performers will not be required to wear masks while performing on stage.
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.

manager, at stagemanager@amherstacts.org or 413-265-8900 to let us know you
