COVID Protocols for Event Attendees
(Updated August 15, 2021 and subject to change.)
Vaccination Requirements
All those entering SVA Theatre need to be fully vaccinated with an FDA / WHO authorized vaccine and must show proof of vaccination upon entrance. “Fully vaccinated” means at least 14 days past the final dose of the vaccine received.
The only exception to the above will be for guests under the age of 12, or those who need reasonable accommodations due to a medical condition or sincerely held religious belief. Guests requesting an exemption must provide proof of the exemption, in addition to either a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of the event, or a negative COVID-19 rapid antigen test taken within 6 hours of the event.
Guests may present proof of vaccination or a negative test on paper or a smartphone. The NY State Excelsior Pass is an acceptable form of proof.
In addition to proof of vaccination, all guests 18 years or older must also present a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport. The name on the ID must match the name on the proof of vaccination / negative test. Guests under 18 may use a school photo ID or must be accompanied by an adult who meets the above requirements.
Masks
Everyone entering SVA theatre must wear acceptable face coverings that cover the nose and mouth at all times.
Masks may be removed briefly in order to drink water or other non-alcoholic beverages.
Food & Drink
Only water and other non-alcoholic beverages are allowed inside SVA Theatre. Food is not currently permitted.
Venue Cleanliness / Sanitization
SVA Theatre is properly cleaned and sanitized following events, and during events when necessary.
Hand sanitizing stations are present throughout the venue.
