Moonstone Theatre Company is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for our patrons and staff. Moonstone Theatre Company believes the key to returning to normalcy is the continued vigilance in protecting our community from the spread of COVID-19 in our spaces.
The listed COVID-19 guidelines will be in effect for our rehearsal and production spaces at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center and various spaces used for meetings in the St. Louis area, including our offices in the Centene Center for the Arts.
Our programming will consist of rehearsals and performances of our 2021-2022 season. Any additional outreach will adhere to CDC recommended guidelines as the situation progresses in the United States.
Our opening plans consist of 3 productions in November 2021, February/March 2022, and March/April 2022. In accordance with St. Louis County guidelines, we anticipate a full capacity of around 120 patrons. Capacity is subject to change with the ongoing CDC and St. Louis County guidelines.
To create our COVID-19 plan, our team has consulted recommendations from the Center for Disease Control, The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Actors Equity Association and local ordinances from the city of St. Louis and St. Louis county.
Our COVID-19 plan will be regularly updated and reviewed as the increase in vaccinations and ongoing changes with COVID-19 continue.
