Effective Immediately
For your safety and the safety of all of those at The Arctic Playhouse, we have updated our policy for anyone attending a performance (updated guidelines are below) for the 2022 season. The decision to operate under these new protocols has not come lightly and was made with everyone’s safety in mind. We love having you back at The Arctic Playhouse and do not want to risk any interruptions in our performance schedules. Thank you for your understanding and support while we navigate these difficult times.
We ask you to please read the following policy and information before joining us, so you are prepared to enjoy our upcoming performances and events.
If you have patrons attending with you, we ask that you please make sure your guests are fully aware of the protocol. At this time, we will not be able to make any exceptions to the policy.
