COVID-19 Protocols
The safety of our patrons, staff, and artists remains a priority at Court Theatre.
When the City of Chicago’s COVID-19 community transmission level is “high,” Court Theatre requires properly worn face masks for attendance at performances. At all other levels, masks are optional, but strongly encouraged. Click here to view the City of Chicago COVID dashboard.
Due to ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.
If on the day of the performance you are experiencing any COVID symptoms, please stay home and contact the Box Office at (773) 753-4472 for more information about exchanges.
We will continue to evaluate and update these policies as the situation evolves. Always check back here for the most up-to-date information.
