Health and Safety
Safety on and off the stage
As COVID-19 prevention efforts continue to evolve, the Guthrie closely monitors local, state and federal guidelines and consults with medical experts and its internal COVID-19 Safety Team to adjust health and safety policies as needed.
Behind the scenes, we follow specific protocols to help mitigate risk, keep shows onstage and create a safe work environment for artists and staff. Current policies for our theaters and shared spaces are outlined below so you know what to expect when you visit the Guthrie.
Your presence, adaptability and support encourage us. Thank you, and we’ll see you at the theater!
