Covid Protocols

 

  • Here at Playthings we are looking to maintain a safe place by following CDC, the New York State Department of Health, the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and New York City’s “Restart NYC” guidance for businesses as well as the new Key to NYC program instituted on August 3 2021. As a result of these requirements, and in order to ensure the safety of our staff and company members, only individuals who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will be allowed to enter our performances. Unfortunately, this includes any attendees under the age of 5 and any other individuals who have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at that time.

  • Vaccinations

    Playthings requires full vaccination for all patrons attending an in-person performance. You are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after you have received a second dose in a two-dose vaccine series or two weeks after you have received a single-dose vaccine. Patrons will be required to show proof they have received a vaccine authorized for emergency use by the FDA or WHO.

    Proof of vaccination may include:

    • NYC COVID Safe App

    • Excelsior Pass

    • CDC Vaccination Card (or photo)

    • NYC Vaccination Record

    • Docket App for New Jersey residents

    • An official immunization record from outside NYC or the US

    If you received the vaccine outside the U.S., you must have an official immunization record that includes:

    • First name and last name

    • Date of birth

    • Vaccine product name (only vaccines authorized by the WHO are acceptable)

    • Date(s) administered

    • The site where the vaccine was administered, or name of the person who administered it

  • Playthings is a fully vaccinated company meaning all cast, crew, and staff are required to be vaccinated and wear a mask at all times while working in the theatre. Actors during performances will be unmasked but will maintain a 6 feet distance from all patrons.

  • Photo ID

    Guests ages 18 and older must present a valid government-issued photo ID. Guests under 18 may also show a school photo ID.

  • All patrons must wear a properly fitting mask over their nose and mouth at all times in the theatre, even while in your seat. Masks must not have vents or exhalation valves and gaiters, scarves, and bandanas are not considered acceptable face coverings.

  • Playthings is only renting from venues that have passed both the Equity and off Broadway Leagues standards, including the CDC and NYC and State guidelines and standards to keep our patrons and performers, and crew safe.
