In order to keep the artists and audiences safe and healthy, the below measures will be put in place:

  1. Tickets are free, but in order to maintain physical distance between families, all audience members must reserve their tickets in advance and show their ticket confirmation (digital or printed) upon arrival.
  2. All audience members aged 6 and older are required to wear a mask.
  3. Families will be seated together, with 6 feet of separation between families. All seating is on the ground, so audience members are encouraged to bring blankets or their own chairs if desired.
  4. No snacks will be for sale, but audience members are free to bring a picnic to enjoy during the show.
  5. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the event area.

For those who cannot attend but want to see the production of the show, it will also be offered as a virtual performance Saturday, October 24.
