Seattle Theatre Group Prepares to Open Its Doors

Seattle, WA. Seattle Theatre Group (STG) is preparing to reopen doors for limited in-person events in July. There are restrictions in place to keep patrons safe. Virtual events will continue, such as the upcoming DANCE This Virtual Performance, above. STG includes the Paramount, Moore, and Neptune Theatres.

For all STG theatres, proof of full COVID vaccination and matching photo ID required at the door. Face coverings are required for all attendees, regardless of vaccination status. Any individual who cannot wear a face covering due to an exemption should contact accessibility@stgpresents.org for more information. Requests for accommodations to the face covering requirement will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. COVID policies are subject to change.

Proof of full COVID vaccination includes one of the following: (1) vaccination card (which includes name of person vaccinated, type of vaccine provided and date last dose administered); OR (2) a photo of a vaccination card as a separate document; OR (3) a photo of the attendee’s vaccine card stored on a phone or electronic device; OR (4) documentation of vaccination from a healthcare provider, electronic health record, or state Immunization Information System record.

This informational video regarding current safety precautions at The Neptune provides further insight.

STG is banding together in a national campaign with the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA), Event Safety Alliance, Association of Performing Arts Professionals (APAP), Coalition of Performing Arts Centers, and National Independent Talent Organization (NITO), to endorse and adopt this “Safe In Sound” reopening guidance checklist. This CDC-reviewed checklist of safety protocols is being adopted across the industry as the recognized standard for safe and healthy event operations as the live entertainment industry recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the transition to in-person events, online opportunities remain available. The virtual RE:DEFINITION gallery is up online. Tariqa Waters, owner and curator of Martyr Sauce, and the late Jonathan Moore founded the RE:DEFINITION gallery at the Paramount Theatre bar in 2015, a partnership with STG to redefine historic cultural space. The goal of the space was always to elevate underrepresented artists and issues of equity in the community.

The events calendar provides a list of virtual and in-person opportunities coming up at all three theatres.
