*Heath and Safety Protocols*

Over two years ago, live arts was struck hard by Covid-19. With many theatres unable to create or share their work during a very trying time, we are grateful for the opportunity to welcome you back into a creative space, where you can experience amazing storytelling live and in-person once again. Live arts has been able to make a return due in large part to vaccines and necessary safety precautions being put in place. As Covid is still a concern, we kindly ask that you keep your mask on at all times throughout the performance as required by our production. This is for the protection of our artists as well as your fellow audience members. Thank you for your assistance in keeping each of us safe!
