LNT Covid 19 Safety Protocols
Covid Safety: LNT & You!
The Covid 19 Pandemic Complicated Everything - But we are So Happy to be Back with Live Performances!
We remain committed to keeping our audience, our artists and our staff SAFE.
Like all Theaters - from Broadway to the back woods, we are thrilled to return to the stage.
And we are not taking anything for granted!
As a conscientious member of our community, LNT is following our Industry Standards.
These standards closely monitor and adhere to CDC recommendations, and all local & government guidelines.
LNT has also invested significantly in a Bio-Defense Air Purification System!
This give us great confidence, that between the new system and adhering to protocols, we can keep everyone safe!
It's a significant investment (especially for a small company like LNT) but one we think is worth it - and we hope you do too.
MASKS are encouraged, but they are no longer required.
Food and drink is NOT be permitted in the theater. But is available in the lobby.
While public health guidelines relax and fluctuate, Lost Nation Theater may be maintaining stricter policies in order to meet contractual agreements (or other union standards). It's all with the goal of keeping everyone safe, have zero transmissions, and keep the show (and the theater) going on!
We also know that some loyal supporters are not able to attend shows until they feel more comfortable or health conditions allow.
We fully understand – and look forward to seeing you again – hopefully soon. And in the meantime, LNT will continue to Live-Stream at least one performance of any of our shows, and provide " on demand" on line viewing for all those which we are contractually able.
So we thank you for your patience and support as we navigate all this and for complying with these safety protocols.
Of course, we recognize that situations can always change.
Because of the continued fluctuation, these noted protocols could change.
What audience members need to do for admission to LNT indoor live-in-person- at the theater events:
-
Consider Wearing a Properly Fitting Mask
Masks are no longer required, but we strongly encourage, and prefer you to wear one.
Our casts and crews thank you in advance.
(If you wish to mask, but forgot one at home, LNT will have masks available at the door for you.)
-
Agree to Adhere to All LNT Covid Safety Protocols
Agree to follow all LNT protocols - including directional (entering/exiting/traveling through), patron distancing, etc. -
Stay home if you are sick/not feeling well. LNT will rebook you as possible or provide a link to the live stream.
-
Upon entering LNT Patrons will be provided with a proper mask if needed.
