The City of Fairfax Theatre Company is closely monitoring the evolving coronavirus situation. The safety and security of our theatre goers, volunteers, and employees is our highest priority and we want you to know what we will be doing to provide a safe environment for everyone. We are following guidance from the City and County of Fairfax, State of Virginia, and Federal authorities as we implement strategies recommended by the Center for Disease Control in our theatres and offices. As of right now, all productions will be performed as scheduled. Our camp programs will follow the City of Fairfax Parks & Recreation policies. While we have always maintained a clean environment for our patrons in the past, in light of the coronavirus, we will significantly increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting in all public and backstage areas beyond the standard daily schedule. We will add alcohol-based sanitizer dispensers for public use in the lobby of every performance location. We encourage our patrons to make use of soap, paper towels, and tissues available in all restrooms. Handwashing for at least 20 seconds with the hottest water tolerable is recommended. We also ask that if you need to sneeze or cough that you use your sleeve or a tissue to do so. We will continue to make decisions based on current recommendations as well as in response to changing conditions. Any changes to scheduled performances or camp programs will be posted here on our website. 

Please do not attend a performance if you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, who is not feeling well, or have recently traveled internationally.  You can contact us at fairfaxcitytheatre@gmail.com for more information about ticket exchanges.
