COVID POLICY
(Recently Updated)

1st Stage is now a mask-optional space, with select mask-required performances offered for each show. This is to maintain its dedication to accessibility and the health and safety of its patrons, performers, and participants.

Mask-required performances for our 2023-2024 season can be found at the individual shows under the “Season” tab on our website.
