Harlequin Productions in Olympia to keep COVID protocols until April

The local nonprofit theater company Harlequin Productions announced on Monday that it will be keeping its COVID-19 protocols, including proof of vaccination and mask wearing, until at least April 2.

The announcement comes just a week after Gov. Jay Inslee announced the statewide indoor mask mandate will be lifted on March 12.

Individuals must be able to show proof of vaccination upon entering. Those unable to do so must have proof of a negative COVID PCR test taken within 72 hours of a performance, according to a press release from the company. Masking is required inside the venue, and patrons will be required to wear masks unless they’re actively eating or drinking.

Children under 12 may attend without proof of vaccination or a negative test result, according to the release.

Self-reported vaccination records and negative test results cannot be accepted; they must come from a health care provider or laboratory.

More information on Harlequin Productions’ COVID protocols can be found online.
