    The safety of our staff, performers and audience is our top priority. The Sharon Playhouse is committed to monitoring the health of all who work on our campus via testing, masking and maintaining a fully vaccinated campus. Our guidelines comply with current Actors Equity Association protocols and by regularly reviewing the situation and adjusting its safety policies as needed, the Playhouse can help to protect everyone who comes to the theater.  

    Based on the latest guidance from the CDC and the State of Connecticut, we will continue to monitor the current situation and adjust our safety policies as needed. We will post all changes to our safety policies on our website.

    Should the State, local municipality, or health authority issue further guidance due to an increase in Covid infection rates, the Sharon Playhouse reserves the right to comply with such recommendations, including the reinstatement of proof of vaccination/test requirements.
