COVID-19

Health & Safety Guidelines

We are closely following COVID-19, and may adjust our guidelines as the situation changes.  

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR BEING ON CAMPUS

Masks are optional (except for audiences during performances, see above).

  • If anyone (student, staff, visitor) is experiencing any symptoms of illness, they will be asked to mask until they are symptom free for 24 hours.

  • For communal health, safety, and consciousness we encourage anyone who is feeling unwell to wear a mask on campus at NEYT as part of the culture moving forward.

  • NEYT will continue to provide hand sanitizing stations with 70%+ alcohol solution

  • NEYT will continue to ensure there is adequate soap and paper towels in each bathroom.

*If you need reference of Covid symptoms you can find them HERE.*

GUIDELINES FOR PERFORMANCES

  • All audience members are required to mask

  • Vaccination is strongly encouraged, but proof of vaccination is not required to attend a performance.

  • Negative COVID test is not required.

  • Performers will not be required to mask (unless any symptoms are exhibited - see below)

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR PROGRAMMING

  • Vaccination is strongly encouraged, but is no longer required for participation in NEYT Programs

  • Masks are optional in the rehearsal room/spaces. 

  • Performers will not be required to mask when onstage and therefore are requested to limit exposure for two weeks prior to their show opening by avoiding large and/or crowded gatherings.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF a positive COVID test

  • We are following the basic protocols of area schools and the CDC.  

  • If your young artist tests positive for covid please email communications@neyt.org for this information.

  • As a basic rule of thumb: if your child is not allowed to go to school, they should not come to NEYT either.
