As St. Louis venues get back on their feet, they aim for consistent COVID-19 rules

When performing arts venues shut down in March 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, the rules were clear: Large public gatherings were outlawed in St. Louis and St. Louis County.

Over time, officials have gradually reduced restrictions. The indoor mask mandate in St. Louis remains in effect, but the city no longer imposes caps on audience size. That leaves performing troupes and venue managers to decide how best to keep their patrons, staff and artists safe from the virus.

Most local venues now require patrons to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a recent negative test to enter. Beyond that, showgoers may encounter different environments from one venue to another, or even one night to the next.
