MASKING REQUIRED
Two-ply cloth face masks, surgical masks, singer’s masks, and respirators (N95, KN95, or KF94) will be allowed for face coverings. Single-ply face masks, gaiters, and bandanas are not acceptable face coverings. Everyone in the holding room and audition room will always wear a face covering as described above, except for the actor when they are actively auditioning. Face coverings must be worn correctly (covering the nose and mouth).
We encourage members to prepare for their audition at home, to the extent that they can (e.g., get dressed, hair/make-up, etc.) to avoid crowding in bathrooms and dressing rooms. |
