*Precautions and Protocols at Workshops*

We will have hand washing stations at the entrances and everyone will have to wash hands before entering the building. We also have several hand sanitizer stands throughout the buildings.

At Drop–off & Pick-up, we ask that all Parents/Guardians park in the parking lot across the street from the theater to give room for everyone to line up on the marks we have made 6 feet apart at check-in and check-out.

We have 3 separate spaces and staggered times available with a teacher and an assistant to maintain safety for everyone. All teacher have come up with activities for groups of students while staying 6 feet apart.

All staff will be wearing masks during check-in & check out and if they need to go to another room for any reason.

During workshops, students and staff will get temps checked and recorded at the door, scheduled hands washing during the workshop, each student will have marked spots to practice physical distancing of 6 feet apart, masks if wanted by students/parents, and reminding students when coughing or sneezing do so into an elbow or shirt).  Students are not required to wear a mask, but can if approved by parent.

All workshops are 2 hours long. Workshops class sizes are limited due to the availability to stay 6 feet apart. There will be NO Performance at the end of each week.

No food will be allowed. (Only Water Bottles allowed)

Cleaning and sanitizing of spaces and restroom will happen between all workshops. No students will be allowed to stay and the theater in between or after a workshop, so we can take care of cleaning protocols.
