Best of Broadway in Spokane Announces Vaccination Requirements

Best of Broadway in Spokane has announced updated health and safety measures in place for their upcoming productions.

To provide a safe environment for audience members, performers, and staff as live entertainment returns to Spokane, proof of vaccination and face masks will be required for audience members at STCU Best of Broadway performances at the First Interstate Center for the Arts.*

Only children under the age of 12 and people with a qualifying medical condition or sincerely held religious belief that prevents vaccination may attend without proof of vaccination. Individuals who meet those criteria must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of the performance start time or a negative COVID-19 rapid antigen or rapid PCR test (administered by a pharmacist, clinician or medical professional) taken within 8 hours of performance start.

All Patrons and staff members over the age of 5, regardless of vaccination status, must wear face mask coverings over their nose and mouth while inside the venue. Masks may be adjusted while actively eating or drinking.

* All artists, touring personnel, musicians, venue and event staff are also required to be fully vaccinated.
