We’re looking forward to welcoming more of you to the theatre as restrictions ease. However, we’re aware a lot of you might still feel anxious about attending the theatre.
Therefore we’re making a few changes to the way we operate so we can welcome more of you in a safe and secure way.
WHAT WE’RE DOING AND WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU:
CABARET SEATING IS STAYING
We’re continuing with cabaret seating in our theatre spaces and we’re increasing capacity. We’re placing a few more tables in the space and re-arranging our seating plan. But the theatre still won’t be at full capacity.
This allows you to sit with the group you booked with. Tables are available in groups of 2,4 and 6. We also have two rows of individual seats, which aren’t socially distanced from other bookers in these rows.
This will remain the case until 1st November 2021 when we will go to fully rowed seating
BOOKING IN ADVANCE
While we have cabaret seating, we’re still asking everyone to book tables in advance. This allows us to plan the seating arrangement for the evening.
We are displaying the NHS test and trace bar code if you would like to check in to the theatre.
HAND WASHING
We’ll ask you to continue to use our contactless hand-washing stations that are situated at the front entrance and the entrance to the theatre.
WEARING MASKS
We ask that you wear a mask when arriving at the theatre and moving in the corridors. You are invited to wear a mask when observing in the audience but this isn’t mandatory.
SOCIAL DISTANCING
While restrictions have eased, we ask you to be mindful of other people’s personal space while moving around the building.
BAR SERVICE
When arriving at the theatre, you’ll be shown to your table for the evening and invited to go to the bar to order your drinks before the show. The bar will also be open during the interval and after the show. There will be a clearly signed, socially distanced queue to the bar.
We’ll also have some tables set out in the bar where you can enjoy your drinks in a bigger space.
THEATRE SCHOOL
We’ll gradually increase the capacity of our classes, but will keep no contact games or activities. We’re capping the courses starting in September 2021 at 12 spaces.
We ask students to respect one another’s personal space during classes and allow space between you where possible.
We will occasionally be offering a fully socially distant 4-week course. This will be capped at 8 spaces to allow plenty of room for everyone taking part. And we’ll ask participants to stay 2m away from everyone at all times.
