All students and staff (and audience members) will be required to wear masks throughout classes, rehearsals, and during performances. We will take short breaks for water. Masks will not be worn during those times, and social distancing will be maintained. If, at any time, an individual becomes overheated or out-of-breath due to wearing their mask, they will be allowed to step away from the group for a brief mask break. (Please note: face shields, gaiters, mesh masks, or other alternative face coverings do not meet this mask requirement). Please see our Updated Policies and Procedures for further COVID-related guidelines. We’re constantly monitoring and evaluating our policies and will update them based on guidance from the CDC.
