COVID - 19 RESPONSE
What measures are being implemented in response to COVID - 19?
Centenary Stage Company, the professional theater in residency on the campus of Centenary University, remains committed to the health and safety of our community and adheres to all requirements and regulations set forth by the State of New Jersey under executive order 183. As such, CSC is taking the following measures to ensure a safe and enjoyable theatre going experience for our patrons, staff, volunteers and artists.
-
Social Distancing with a minimum of 6' distance will be observed and enforced at all times. This includes while in the Lackland Center lobby, restrooms, theatre seating and all other indoor spaces. Audience seating has been socially distanced to ensure 6' between patrons in all directions while seated during a performance. Seating begins approx. 12' from the apron of the stage ensuring a safe distance between audience and artists. -
Masks and face coverings are required at all times while indoors, as well as, outdoors when social distancing isn't possible. Patrons, staff, and volunteers are required to wear a mask and/or face covering through the duration of their visit with CSC. -
Limited capacity as per NJ executive order 183 all indoor performance venues are capped at a maximum capacity of 25% or a maximum of 150 patrons (the lesser of the two). To adhere to social distancing Centenary Stage Company has reduced the total capacity of it's performance space from 504 to 112 total available seats across the orchestra and balcony sections. This maximum capacity is below the NJ state requirement. -
Contactless ticketing eliminating the traditional tearing of tickets at the door for entry limiting the need for contact between patrons, staff and volunteers. CSC has shifted to a digital/print your ticket at home format and is encouraging patrons to purchase tickets in advance. Once a ticket is purchased patrons will have the option to either have their tickets mailed to them at an additional charge or e-mailed to them at no cost. E-mailed tickets may be printed at home or presented at the box office using a smart device. CSC has eliminated a "will call" and will no longer allow patrons to have their tickets held for them at the box office. However, CSC will continue to offer day of event ticket sales. -
Increased use of PPE by all staff and volunteers. Csc will be employing additional available PPE for staff and volunteers to use at their discretion. In addition to the required face mask/coverings additional PPE may include face shields, gloves and other PPE. -
Hand santizing stations have been installed by the University and will be available for use throughout the Lackland Center providing patrons, staff and volunteers with quick and easy access. -
Increased deep cleaning has been initiated by the University and is further reinforced by CSC staff. Regular deep cleaning, as well as, increased cleaning of all public spaces before and after every performance will occure. -
Upgraded HVAC and air ventilation has been installed by the university and meets ASHRAE recommendations. -
One-way traffic patterns for entry to and exit from the venue have been created and designated to assist with social distancing and limit interaction within public spaces. -
COVID-19 screening questionnaire required by the University for all patrons and visitors to campus.
How does contact-less ticketing work?
In an effort to limit contact between CSC staff, volunteers and our patrons CSC is implementing contact-less ticketing for the 2020-21 season.
-
BY MAIL: Patrons may continue to elect to have purchased tickets mailed to them at the standard mail rate of $1.50 per order selected for mailing. -
BY E-MAIL: Patrons may elect at check out (on-line or by phone) to have a digital ticket(s) e-mailed to them. This option creates a digital ticket which is sent electronically to the e-mail address on file in the patron account. Once this digital ticket is received patrons will be required to print the digital ticket(s) at home and bring the print out with them on the day of the performance to gain admittance to the event.
How are you implementing social distancing within your theatre spaces?
For the 2020/21 Season most of our events have been scheduled to be presented in our mainstage space, the Sitnik Theatre. This space can seat (under normal circumstances) a maximum capacity of 504 patrons. In order to adhere to social distancing guidlines, CSC has limited the total capacity of available seats to 112.
Does social distancing impact my ability to purchase tickets?
No! You can still purchase tickets on-line, by phone or in person.
Can I still purchase tickets in person?
Absolutely!
I have specific seating requirements. Am I still able to reserve ADA compliant seating?
Yes!
I'm looking to purchase tickets for a family, what should I do?
Because of our socially distanced seating map within our Sitnik Theatre our on-line ticketing system will not allow for more than (2) seats to be purchased at a time.
