COVID Policy

Updated August 15, 2022 – An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. By visiting Fauquier Community Theatre, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure of COVID-19. Fauquier Community Theatre is following the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Virginia Department of Health.  As such, we will not have any seating or distancing restrictions. Face coverings are optional. If you feel sick or are displaying any symptoms of COVID-19, or have been exposed to someone sick, please do not attend.

Updated April 21, 2022 – Masks are optional for audience members. Fauquier Community Theatre will continue to monitor conditions, and may reassess our policy as needed. Social distancing on either side of ticket purchase orders will remain.

Updated March 7, 2022

COVID and MASKS FOR PERFORMANCES – Masks are required inside the theater at all times for staff, volunteers, and audience members.

COVID and SOCIAL DISTANCING FOR PERFORMANCES – Tickets are sold online or by phone in advance only. All ticket order purchases will have an empty seat on either side of each group of tickets ordered together. This is voluntary by Fauquier Community Theatre which reduces the theater capacity to about 70 percent. Concessions will take place outdoors only, weather permitting, or not at all.

COVID Waiver – By purchasing tickets, myself and my entire group agrees that ourselves, our heirs, personal representative or assigns, do hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to hold Fauquier Community Theatre liable or FCT’s directors, officers, employees and agents liable from any and all potential claims related to or resulting in personal injury or illnesses and property loss arising from any COVID-19 transmission that may occur from being present at performances and/or rehearsals.

OTHER FCT FUNCTIONS – Masks are required at all FCT functions (e.g., auditions, rehearsals, etc.) except when performing or when social distancing of three feet or more cannot be maintained. Medical exemptions will be honored.
