In an unprecedented display of unity, 14 theaters in the D.C. area have announced that they will require audiences to show proof of vaccination in order to attend performances. The theaters include Arena Stage, the Atlas Performing Arts Center, Constellation Theatre Company, GALA Hispanic Theatre, The Keegan Theatre, Mosaic Theater Company, Round House, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Signature Theatre, Studio Theatre, Synetic Theater, Theater J, and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, with more expected to join in the coming weeks. And we wanted some consistency between what audiences could expect coming back into live theater and what they could expect from theater to theater…. Such proof can include a physical vaccination card, or other options depending on individual theater policies. Exemptions will be made for children under the age of 12, those with medical conditions preventing vaccination, and those whose religious beliefs prevent vaccination.
