The Episcopal Actors’ Guild is a fully vaccinated and boosted facility.
Our entire staff is fully vaccinated and boosted. We currently require that everyone entering Guild Hall be fully vaccinated and, for those who are eligible, must have received a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot.
On April 25, 2022 EAG's board voted to extend our protocols through at least May 31, 2022. The board will review our protocols again in late May and reserves the right to extend them again at that time.

Everyone entering Guild Hall must:
Be Fully Vaccinated AND Boosted.
Everyone entering Guild Hall must be fully vaccinated with an FDA or WHO authorized COVID-19 vaccine AND, beginning March 1, 2022, all who are eligible must also have received their booster shot. For those who are too recently fully vaccinated to be eligible or who fall into an age group not yet approved for a booster shot, proof of full vaccination will still suffice.
According to the CDC, you are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19 two weeks (14 days) after you have received a second dose in a two-dose vaccine series or two weeks (14 days) after you have received a single-dose vaccine.
For optimal protection against COVID-19, you should also get a booster shot. For more information on booster eligibility, please visit the CDC's website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html.
Provide In-Person Verification of Vaccination.
Prior to entering Guild Hall, everyone must show proof of vaccination to EAG staff using your CDC Vaccination Card, NYC Vaccination Record or other official immunization record, NYC COVID Safe App (Android | iOS), the MyChart App (Android | iOS), or Excelsior Pass. Photos, photocopies, and pictures saved on your phone are acceptable. Beginning March 1, 2022, all who are eligible for a booster shot will need to show proof that they have had that booster.
In addition to proof of vaccination, everyone 18 years or older must also present a government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license or passport. Everyone younger than 18 may use a government-issued photo ID or school photo ID. Photo IDs must show the individual's name and date of birth. Photos, photocopies, and pictures saved on your phone are acceptable.
EAG will not accept a negative covid test in lieu of proof of vaccination. EAG cannot make any medical or religious exemptions.
Wear a Well-Fitted, High-Filtration Face Mask.
In light of the updates to recommendations on face masks, wearing a well-fitted, high-filtration face mask while in Guild Hall will now be required. This means everyone entering Guild Hall must be wearing a well-fitted surgical mask or better, such as a KN95, N95, or KF94 mask, over both their nose and mouth. Performers on stage during a rehearsal or performance will be allowed to work without a mask when necessary but all other personnel and the audience must be masked at all times.
For more information on the types of masks and proper mask fit, please visit the CDC's website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/types-of-masks.html.
