Regarding Actor Health and Safety:
The health and safety of actors, production team, and patrons is The Footlight Club’s highest priority, and we aim to be transparent regarding our plans for Covid-19 safety during rehearsals and performances. While we will not ask actors or production crew to show proof of vaccination or a negative test result, we expect that all participants in this production who are able will be fully vaccinated by the time of auditions.
Production staff will be masked during the audition process, and actors are asked to wear masks until their individual audition, at which time they are welcome to remove their masks. If actors are paired in a scene during callbacks, they are asked to remain masked.
