Placentia Theatre Festival
COVID-19 Health and Safety Plan
 
Rationale - As a result of the Government of Newfoundland’s Public Health guidelines that may be in place due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, our organization has developed a health and safety plan for the theatre season. This is a fluid plan and will be adapted as required by Public Health.  By following these regulations, our organization will be able to:

-Continue to operate during the summer as a thriving organization. 
-Offer meaningful employment to our summer employees.
-Contribute to the life of Placentia through theatre and music.
-Entertain people with theatre and music in the safest way possible.

The Placentia Theatre Festival is essential to Placentia’s identity each summer and abiding by these regulations will ensure staff and audiences stay safe.
