HEALTH POLICY INFORMATION

THE LATEST UPDATES FROM DMPA

The health and safety of our audiences, artists and staff will always be our top priority. Over the past 18 months our colleagues have been working with health experts and industry leaders to guide our policies and ensure your safe return to our venues. With that guidance in mind, DMPA is implementing new health policies for upcoming indoor performances. 

Continuing for the foreseeable future, all guests planning to attend a performance inside a DMPA venue must present proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or the results of a negative COVID-19 test. 

Children who are unable to be vaccinated must have proof of a negative COVID-19 test for entry.

Guests over 18 years of age will also be required to present a corresponding government-issued photo ID.

Additionally, all audience members must wear a mask at all times inside a DMPA venue unless enjoying refreshments within DMPA’s designated areas. 

DMPA will regularly review and update audience policies. Please watch your email or visit DMPA.org for future updates. 

Our colleagues have been hard at work updating the Civic Center HVAC systems with new industry-leading MERV 13 filters, adjusting for increased fresh air circulation and adding portable air filtration systems in key areas. Other improvements include additional hand sanitizing stations, protective guards around concession areas and implementation of touchless transaction options.

Please know that if you or a member of your party are not feeling well prior to a performance, we have a variety of flexible options available to you including exchanges and refunds. Please contact us prior to the performance and our team will gladly walk you through your options.

Your loyalty has protected the arts through this intermission, and we are delighted to welcome you back to live performances. Thank you for your continued support!
