Welcome to Raven Theatre! Our priority is to deliver memorable experiences to our patrons while providing them with a safe and accessible environment. To accomplish this, we’ve implemented the following policies and practices:
Raven Theatre is mask-optional for a majority of our performances (please see below for mask-required dates). Complimentary masks will be available at all performances for patrons who wish to wear one.
Please note that Raven Theatre has two performance spaces (Johnson Stage and Schwartz Stage). It is possible that there will be a mask-required performance happening in one space and a mask-optional performance happening in the other space on the same date. For this reason, patrons may choose to mask or not in the lobby area, and any mask requirement will apply inside the performance space.
MASK REQUIRED PERFORMANCES
To ensure Raven Theatre remains accessible to all patrons, we have dedicated three performances per production that will require ALL attendees to wear masks. Visit our Special Events page to learn more.
ILLNESSES & CANCELLATIONS
Patrons who are not feeling well, experiencing flu-like symptoms, or have had or been exposed to COVID-19 in the past 10 days, should not attend a show. If you are unable to attend a performance due to these reasons, please contact us to discuss your options.
Questions or concerns can be directed to info@raventheatre.com or 773.338.2177
Overall, we ask that you monitor the health of your camper throughout the duration of camp. Should symptoms arise, please stay home and test immediately. While not required, we encourage frequent testing throughout the camp session. If possible, we would appreciate it if you could please rapid test your camper before the first day of camp on Sunday or Monday morning before arriving, as well as prior to the start of the second week. This will help us monitor the health of our campers.
If you have siblings enrolled and one tests positive or develops symptoms, we ask that you keep both campers at home until they are both cleared. If any camper develops cold or flu-like symptoms during the day, we will provide a rapid COVID test and reach out to you with the results. Regardless of the test result, if a camper is symptomatic, we may ask you to pick them up early based on the severity of symptoms.
What To Do If a Camper Tests Positive for Covid-19:
– Please notify the Raven Theatre Education Team immediately.
– Isolate at home for at least five days. If symptoms persist after five days, continue to isolate at home until symptoms resolve.
– Return to camp after isolation and wear a mask until ten days after symptom onset or ten days after the positive test if asymptomatic.
– All camp families and staff will be informed immediately of a positive case at camp. We encourage families to take precautions and rapid test throughout the camp session or after receiving a positive case notification.
– We will ask any camper who tests positive, or who has an active Covid Case in their household to stay home from camp. This includes siblings. If one sibling is positive but the other tests negative, we ask that both remain at home.
– As our camp session is only two weeks in length, a positive Covid-19 infection (personal or within the household) may mean a camper cannot return for that session.
– Campers that are unable to complete their session due to COVID-19 will receive a partial refund if they test positive in the first week of camp. (No refund will be provided after the first week is completed).
– In the event a staff member tests positive, they will be asked to follow the same isolation//masking guidelines listed above.
What To Do If You Are Exposed to COVID-19 In Camp
1. Stay in camp, but wear a mask for 10 days.
2. Get tested after exposure. Raven strongly recommends testing for COVID-19 on the Monday and Thursday after exposure.
3. Test Negative: If a student or staff member tests negative, they can remain in camp wearing a mask for 10 days after their exposure.
4. Test Positive: Isolate at home. If a student or staff member tests positive, they must isolate themselves at home for the next 5 calendar days and self-report the positive result to Raven Theatre’s Education Team.
What To Do If Someone In Your Home Tests Positive For COVID-19
If a member of the camper/staff’s household tests positive for COVID-19, we recommend the following:
1. If limited contact/exposure to a positive individual, return to camp, but wear a mask for ten days. If the positive individual in the household remains symptomatic for longer than ten days, continue to mask until the household member is no longer symptomatic
2. Test on the next immediate Monday and the next immediate Thursday after exposure.
3. If you have any of these symptoms of COVID-19, test immediately and stay home: Fever 100.4 or higher; chills; Cough; Shortness of breath; Difficulty breathing; Sore throat; New loss of taste or smell; New muscle or body aches; Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea; Headache; Runny nose or congestion; Fatigue
