Grand Theater.
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) — The Grand Theater will require either proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a lab-certified negative test for the disease for all who attend shows at the theater starting Thursday, October 12th.
The policy will impact all ticketed guests over the age of 12. Anyone under the age of 11 will be allowed to attend shows without proof of vaccination or a negative test provided they wear a face mask while in the venue.
The Theater’s policy requiring face coverings for everyone, regardless of vaccination status, will remain in place as it has since September 1st. Masks will not be required while guests are actively eating or drinking.
“The return of live performances to The Grand has been incredibly exciting,” Sean Wright, Executive Director of the Grand, told WAOW TV. “After 18 months of no live shows, we want to help ensure that shutting down our stage doesn’t happen again. Our updated policies will allow performances to continue in a safer environment for the audience and will help artists continue to tour with less risk of illness to themselves and their crew.”
Those that have tickets and do not wear a mask, aren’t able to show proof of vaccination, or lab-verified negative COVID-19 test may obtain a ticket refund up to 48 hours prior to the performance by contacting The Grand’s Box Office at info@grandtheater.org or 715-842-0988.
The Grand Theater already requires proof of vaccination for its employees and volunteers.
