OUTPOST COVID SAFETY POLICIES (AS OF FEBRUARY 2023)

As of February 2023, the wearing of masks at Outpost Performance Space performances is OPTIONAL. That said, we HIGHLY ENCOURAGE audiences and performers to wear them and of course, to be fully vaccinated. Masks will be available for all who want them. We remain committed, first and foremost, to the safety of everybody who attends an Outpost event, including audience, artists and staff. For air circulation we have our doors open; swamp coolers on; plus ceiling fans with UV-C light and 2 newly-purchased air purifiers— both designed to kill 99.99% of common airborne viruses, allergens, bacteria, and more. Outpost events at other venues are determined by that venue’s policies (e.g. Lensic Performing Arts Center). We will keep you posted on any changes to Outpost safety policy changes if they occur.
