ARRIVAL AT SET
ALL ORCHESTRA, SINGERS, CREW & STAFF CHECK IN AT THE HOPE STREET LOADING DOCK (1st & Hope Street)
Please arrive wearing a face covering…at least a cloth mask. Please remember to maintain at least 6′ of separation at all times and follow the directions for check in at location. All cast and crew will be invited to fill out their pre-work survey to via email. You’ll find the link in the email that directed you here. By filling out this survey ahead of time, the process of getting on set will be made faster, and the team will be able to more easily distance from one another.
Everyone must provide this basic information as a prerequisite to reporting for work…either digitally or verbally on site. Once receipt of your pre-work survey is confirmed, temperatures will be taken, and the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and badge will be provided. Your badge must be visible at all times. A mask with a .95 rating that should be worn at all times unless one’s job absolutely prohibits that. Any exception to this plan will be clearly defined in a separate email that will originate from the LAO team specifically.

Everyone else in the green zone will be asked to maintain at least 12 feet of distance from anyone in the blue zone. Blue zone members will be asked to wear both a mask and face shield when working with any talent who is unmasked.
