EXPOSURE PROTOCOLS

SHOWS

For staff and performers:

Exposure or Potential Exposure

If you feel sick, you should stay home and get tested. If you think or know you’ve been exposed to COVID-19, immediately inform your teacher or director and cast or classmates as well, so they can take necessary precautions. When you know your final test result, please share that with the group as well. If you test positive, see below. 

Positive Test Result

Please notify a staff member immediately after a positive test if you were in a show, rehearsal, class, jam, or any community event leading up to the onset of symptoms or positive test. If you can, notify your director, teacher, cast, classmates, etc that you tested positive as well. A Staff member will notify audience members, venue staff, and others who may have attended your show or event. Follow CDC Guidelines for quarantining. Talk to your teacher or director about possible digital hybrid options for your next rehearsal or class. Take care of yourself, and take care of your community by preventing spread. ColdTowne will endure. It always does. 

For Audience Members:

If buying tickets at the door, please leave your name and email in our guest log so we can reach out for contact tracing. 

Exposure or Potential Exposure

If you feel sick, you should stay home and get tested. If you think or know you’ve been exposed to COVID-19, please exchange or cancel your show tickets (you can do this through the confirmation email you got when you purchased your ticket or by emailing will@coldtownetheater.com). We may not catch all emails before the show but will get back to you in the next week. In the meantime, get tested or quarantine under the CDC guidelines. 

Positive Test Result

If you test positive for COVID-19 and you think or know you were exposed at an official ColdTowne event, please notify coldtownehq@gmail.com with the name and date of your event. Staff will notify every person at the show and you will remain anonymous.
