Health/Safety & Restricted Performances
All Performances
Restricted Performances:
Since there is no social distancing within the audience, meaning you are in close contact for a longer period of time with those around you, Imagine Theatre is providing 3 Restricted Performances (Proof of Vaccination or negative covid-19 test required) of Matilda the Musical in an effort to protect our community, and youth, as much as possible.
Please note that our youth actors are not required to be vaccinated or complete testing due to age, testing limitations, and financial limitations. Considering this, our actors are at least 3ft away from the closest audience member for the majority of the show. If actors are closer than 3ft, it is for less than 15 minutes making it a non-close contact.
We estimate that Restricted Performances will mean that 88% of those in the building are vaccinated or have shown a negative covid-19 test (the remaining 12% are our unvaccinated actors under 12 years of age). This is significantly lower than non-restricted performances which are estimated to have 70% of those in the building having had a covid-19 vaccination.
RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE DATES
RESTRICTED PERFORMANCES REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING:
Questions??
Please reach out to COVID-19 point of contact, Alec Martinez - alec@imaginetheatre.org
- Masks are required for all performances. Face shields, gaiters, and bandanas will not be permitted as mask options. Masks must be properly worn by all patrons 2+ years old while inside and outside the building due to current Covid-19 levels & state guidance. For maximum protection we recommend patrons wear tight fitting KN95 masks, or practice double masking.
- No Social Distancing. Due to the small venue size (only 77 seats) audience members are not socially distanced when in their seats. Because of this, all audience members must wear masks (see above) and are encouraged to wear KN95 masks or practice double masking.
- Masked Performers. Our student performers will be masked for all performances due to the current COVID-19 levels. If this changes, patrons will be updated.
- No Concessions will be sold during performances. Patrons are welcome to bring their own water.

RESTRICTED PERFORMANCES REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING:
- Vaccination & Testing: All Patrons, regardless of age, must show proof of a completed SARS COVID-19 vaccination (photo or physical copy of a completed CDC vaccination record) and/or a negative SARS COVID 19 test 48 hours prior to show time (PCR or antigen tests accepted) as a condition of entry.
- Masks: All patrons 2+ years old must properly wear a well fitting mask. Face shields, gaiters, & bandanas will not be permissible as a mask. Patrons are encouraged to wear a KN95 or double mask since there is no physical distancing in the audience, not all performances require vaccinations/tests, and the length of exposure to others is a considerable amount of time.
- Everything under the "All Performances" section above still applies to Restricted Performances.
