The health and well-being of our patrons, artists, and staff are our top priority at STC. Based on audience surveys, CDC recommendations, and the countless hours of work and data analysis of our in-house Covid-19 Committee, STC has developed (and will continue to develop) policies and procedures to best serve everyone entering our theatre and spaces. Beginning with our production of King Lear, STC will be moving entirely to MASK RECOMMENDED performances.

Thank you for keeping the safety and well-being of our artists, staff, and your fellow patrons at the forefront of your experience with STC. Thank you for continuing to support live theatre. We'll see you at the next show.
