returns in the fall, theater industry workers will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The Actors’ Equity Association and the Broadway League on Thursday announced an agreement on safety protocols for reopening venues on the Great White Way and around the U.S. Key provisions include improved HVAC standards, mandated vaccines for the workforce and weekly testing for employees. The pact comes as “Pass Over,” the first Broadway play scheduled to resume performances, moves into the August Wilson Theatre for rehearsals.
“This is an important milestone on the path to getting all our members safely back to work,” said Mary McColl, executive director for Actors’ Equity Association, the union that represents more than 51,000 professional actors and stage managers working in live theater. “We are grateful to the League for their partnership on these protocols. We all feel this plan is robust, adaptable to changing conditions and in line with the science.
During the pandemic, the Actors’ Equity Association fought for testing and a vaccination site in New York to help bring back the theater district. Broadway has been dark since March 12, 2020 and has struggled to rebound because its theaters require sold-out shows in tightly packed venues to operate profitably. Broadway plans to reopen to full capacity on Sept. 14.“The secure return of our casts, crews and employees is our top priority.
