Our intention is that by maintaining strict audience masking through at least the month of May, we will continue that track record of safety for all. And of course, we urge everyone to get vaccinated.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>By Friday, most theater owners on Broadway had reported that they will drop the vaccination requirement on May 1, including the Shubert Organization, the Nederlander Organization, Disney Theatrical Productions and Circle in the Square. Only two organizations, Lincoln Center Theater, and the Roundabout Theater Company production of <em>Birthday Candles<\/em> (which runs through May) told <em>The New York Times<\/em> that they would keep the vaccine requirement beyond May 1, while other venues and organizations are set to make their decisions in the coming week.<\/p>\n<p>Since enacting the Covid vaccine requirement last fall, Broadway theater owners have hired additional staff to check proof of vaccination documents at the doors of their venues. Eliminating the vax requirement will presumably eliminate that additional running cost.<\/p>\n<p>The League said audience masking protocols for June and beyond will be announced in May.<\/p>\n<h2>Must Read Stories<\/h2>\n<h3>Bubble Watch 2022: Broadcast Scripted Series That Have Yet To Be Renewed Or Canceled<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Million-little-things-b-positive-mr-mayor-pivoting-legends.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>KJ Apa &#038; Isabel May Lead DC Adaptation &#8216;The Wonder Twins&#8217; For HBO Max<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/KJ-Apa-Isabel-May.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>&#8216;Seinfeld&#8217; Mom Dies At 93: &#8220;Lucky To Have Known Her&#8221;, Jerry Seinfeld Says<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Liz-Sheridan-Jerry-Seinfeld.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>&#8216;The Gilded Age&#8217; Sets Season 2 Cast: 13 Upped To Series Regulars, Thomas Cocquerel Exits<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Gilded-Age-4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>Read More About:<\/h2>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2022\/04\/broadway-covid-mask-vaccine-policy-1235003299\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Broadway League has announced that while the owners and operators of all 41 Broadway venues will require audiences to mask up at least through [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
