Performers or Speakers may choose to be unmasked while performing onstage. Masks are optional for visitors to the Gallery.
PROOF OF VACCINATION: All attendees to indoor performances or events at Meetinghouse Arts Stage must show complete, up to date*, proof of vaccination (*including boosters for those who are eligible). This policy applies to audiences, staff, volunteers, and artists, and extends to rental events as well as ACAF-sponsored events. If you cannot verify that you are fully vaccinated, you must provide a time-stamped printout, photo, or email of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of the event, or a Rapid Antigen Test administered by an authorized provider taken within 12 hours of the event (home test kits are not accepted). Children under 5 are exempt from the vaccination and testing policy, and children under 2 are exempt from the vaccination, masking, and testing policy.
