COVID-19 Safety Plan
COVID-19 Safety Plan Milwaukee Repertory Theater 108 E. Wells St. Milwaukee, WI 53217 A member of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT) Chad Bauman, Executive Director December 23, 2020 OPENING FROM MILWAUKEE REPERTORY THEATER LEADERSHIP Over the last several months, Milwaukee Repertory Theater has worked diligently to design a plan to welcome back artists, staff and patrons safely to the Jay & Patty Baker Theater Complex. Our plan was developed in consultation with medical experts, guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control, OSHA, Milwaukee Public Health Department, and available resources provided by Actors’ Equity Association, the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, United Scenic Artists and SAG-AFTRA The below plan was implemented to safely rehearse, perform and film Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol in-person during an eight week period in late 2020 and proved to be effective at preventing any cases of COVID-19 in the workplace. We hope that you will agree the plan demonstrates our deep commitment to safety and we look forward to working collaboratively with the Milwaukee Public Health Department and our union partners to enact this plan allowing artists, designers, directors and choreographers to return to work responsibly. As submitted, this plan specifically pertains to the productions proposed for the remainder of the 2020/21 season; however, generalizable concepts and protocols will be applied to subsequent productions until such time that COVID-19 no longer presents a clear challenge to our community.
