Kimmel Cultural
Campus and Resident Companies are also following City of
Philadelphia mandate
for masks at all Campus events
The Kimmel Cultural Campus has announced that
all guests for public events will be required to show proof of vaccination
across their venues: the Kimmel Center, the Academy of Music, and the Merriam,
as well as the off-campus Forrest Theatre. All attendees for public events must
show proof of vaccination at the time of entry. Children under 12 will be required
to show a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of the event. This policy is
subject to change based upon guidance from the CDC and local health authorities.
Audiences are encouraged to visit the Safe and Clean Commitment page online for health and safety guidelines.
While entry procedure for proof of vaccination
is still being developed, the announcement comes alongside similar mandates
from New York City and other touring venues across the nation. Ticket holders
will be notified with detailed instructions well in advance of their
performance dates.
In addition to a Covid-19 vaccination policy for
all its employees, in keeping with Philadelphia’s mask requirement, masks will
be required. Masks will be required for everyone in the theatres except while actively engaged in
consuming food or beverage. Additionally, the Kimmel Cultural Campus has
invested in new HVAC systems to meet the CDC requirements to maximize fresh air intake.
