With recent changes stemming from Actors’ Equity Association and the decreasing COVID-19 rates in our area, Mill Mountain Theatre has decided to make masks optional, for everyone. Mill Mountain Theatre will continue to actively monitor the COVID-19 rates in the Roanoke Region and through the State and CDC recommendations. 

Mill Mountain Theatre will continue to focus on keeping our audiences safe and will continue to build a safe environment for our audiences. 

The staff and board at Mill Mountain Theatre have put countless hours into safely re-introducing its audiences into the theatre. Mill Mountain Theatre put nine of its staff members through the Health Education Services COVID safety program, creating nine COVID-19 Safety Compliance officers within the theatre. This group has also implemented the following guidelines in the theatre. 

• The cast, crew and staff have been vaccinated and tested weekly for COVID-19
• The cast and crew will be masked throughout rehearsals. 
• Hand sanitizing stations and masks are available for our audience at each show.
• The theatre has inspected and maintained its ventilation system to maintain compliance with the CDC and Actors’ Equity Association rules to protect the cast, crew, staff and audience. 
• MMT has implemented hospital-grade air filtration systems in its housing for actors, staff and the creative team.
• MMT has been approved for its strict safety standards by Actors’ Equity Association. 
• Mill Mountain Theatre’s spaces are routinely cleaned and sanitized before every performance.
• MMT continues to actively work with industry-leading COVID-19 researchers and doctors on the theatre’s board and at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at Virginia Tech Carilion.

We look forward to welcoming our patrons to the Trinkle MainStage and seeing each one of our patrons this season.
