Broadway theaters in New York City will require proof of COVID vaccinations for audience members, performers and other workers through October, the Broadway League announced Friday. Audiences members will also be required to wear masks inside theaters.
All 41 theaters will enforce the policy, which will be reviewed in September. Groups unable to get the vaccine — children under 12, those with medical conditions, or those with closely held religious beliefs" — will need to provide a negative test result, the company said.
