Here's how we're keeping you safe at the
​Lesher Center for the Arts:

As guidance from health authorities evolves, we continue to modify our health and safety protocols at the Lesher Center for the Arts to protect audiences, performers, staff members and volunteers.

LESHER CENTER ENTRY REQUIREMENTS (INDOORS)
 PROOF OF VACCINATION REQUIRED for ages 12 and up*

 To qualify as “fully vaccinated,” an individual must have completed their full course of COVID-19 shot(s) no fewer than 14 days prior to attendance.
  
 Acceptable forms of proof of vaccination against COVID-19 include a CDC Vaccination Record Card, either an original paper card or a clear and legible digital copy of the card, or a digital State of California COVID-19 Vaccine Record.  

 Additionally, we will require a valid photo ID in conjunction with your vaccine record.

 MASKS are required to be worn indoors by all guests age two and over, regardless of vaccination status. Masks must fully cover your mouth and nose.

 Per Contra Costa Health Services, performers may remove masks on stage because the Lesher Center has a proof of vaccination policy in place.
​
Unfortunately, guests unable to comply with our vaccination and mask policies will not be admitted.

*Medical and religious exemptions are allowed. Medical exemptions must be in writing, include the person’s name, and be signed by a medical professional. Religious exemptions must also be in writing with the person’s name. In order to be admitted to an event with a medical or religious exemption, a person must also have a negative COVID-19 PCR test result taken within 72 hours of the event and valid photo ID.

Before You Arrive

• All guests must have a ticket.  We strongly encourage you to purchase tickets in advance at lesherartscenter.org or 925-943-7469 to ensure seats are available.  
• Check your email for reminders.  We'll tell you everything you need to know about the entry process before your show.
• Confirm you and all members of your party are feeling well the day of the show.  
• Assess your comfort level before completing your ticket purchase.  An inherent risk of exposure exists in any public space where people gather.  By visiting the Lesher Center for the Arts, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure.

At the Theatre

• Wear a face covering.  As of August 3, 2021, Contra Costa Health Services requires that all guests age 2 and over wear a facemask, fully covering their mouth and nose, when visiting indoor public spaces within Contra Costa County.  This mandate will apply to you and your guests, age two and over, during your upcoming visit to the Lesher Center for the Arts, even if you are fully vaccinated.
• Food and Beverage may be consumed in the lobby areas, but are not permitted inside the theatre.  Please remain fully masked unless actively eating or drinking.  Water fountains are available on all three levels of the Lesher Center.
• Arrive early.  Give yourself time to park, purchase your tickets if you did not do so in advance, and complete the entry process.​
• Have your proof of full vaccination and ID available.  
• Scan your ticket.  Show us your ticket on your mobile device, your print-at-home ticket, or a traditional ticket.​
