Audience COVID-19 Information and Resource Page
Baltimore Center Stage’s first priority is the health, safety and well-being of our audiences, staff, artists, and guests. Our current policy will include mask-optional performances on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturday evenings, and Sunday matinees, and mask-required performances on Wednesdays, and Saturday matinees. During those performances, masks may only be removed in designated eating and drinking areas.
As always, we’re here to support you with any questions you have, and you can direct them to our Box Office Team at boxoffice@centerstage.org
If for any reason a concern is present to wearing a mask, please email access@centerstage.org to discuss the concerns.
As Baltimore Center Stage continues to track developments around COVID-19, we are also tracking best practices across the theater and hospitality industry. Our current policy aligns with local safety guidelines and give each audience member a choice of how to attend our performances in the way that best matches their comfort level.
Please refer to this page regularly for up to date information as Baltimore Center Stage continues to track developments. Policies and guidelines are subject to change based on CDC and local government recommendations.
