COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) Preparedness at the Indiana Repertory Theatre

The health and safety of our patrons is extremely important to us and we wanted to share with you our preparedness as it relates to COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease). The IRT is currently following the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as local and state public health authorities, to safeguard your health and wellbeing, and that of our employees, volunteers, and performers.
 
Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the following preventive measures should be taken to help reduce the spread of COVID-19:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
  • Please do not attend public events if you are unwell or in a high risk group. If you have been to CDC level III countries, and have not undergone the 14-day quarantine, please stay home until your quarantine time has passed.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
• Prevent the spread of misinformation by learning more about the CDC’s updated recommendations here.

What you need to know about visiting the IRT, and keeping yourself healthy and safe:

• Follow the preventive measures outlined above by the CDC.
• IRT is providing extra sanitization throughout the building, and offering more hand sanitization stations in our Ticket Office and lobbies. We also have wipes available if staff or patrons would like to use them in our theatres.
• During this time, we ask staff and volunteers to avoid touching of tickets, and we will not be reusing program books.
• If you are under the weather and would like to exchange your tickets for a future performance please reach out to the Ticket Office at 317.635.5252 and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
• If you choose to stay home, please consider donating the value of your ticket back to the IRT. Your donation will go toward making future performances possible.
• We will continue to monitor the concern internationally, nationally, and locally by following the CDC and Marion County Public Health Department guidelines.
