CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATE

Buck Creek Players wants our patrons, supporters, and volunteers to know that we are continuing to monitor the situation with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, and are planning accordingly.

Your health and safety are very important to us, and we want to share with you our current preparedness for COVID-19. BCP is currently following the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as local, state, and public health authorities, to safeguard your health and well-being, as well as our volunteers. As recommended by the CDC, the following preventive measures should be taken to help reduce the spread of COVID-19:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Please do not attend public events if you are unwell or in a high risk group. If you have been to CDC level III countries, and have not undergone the 14-day quarantine, please stay home until your quarantine time has passed.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces with a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at lease 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

What you need to know about visiting BCP, and staying safe and healthy:

• BCP is posting the CDC hand-washing guidelines and recommendations throughout the playhouse.
• BCP is providing extra sanitation throughout the playhouse. This includes hand sanitizer and/or hand-sanitizing wipes.
• Disinfecting wipes will be available at the playhouse for use by patrons and volunteers.
• BCP will be sanitizing door handles, chairs, handrails, and other frequently touched surfaces.
• BCP will be increasing the frequency of daily restroom cleaning and sanitizing, including prior to intermission and at the end of each performance.
• If you are in a high risk group or feel unwell, please contact the playhouse and we will exchange your tickets and/or provide a refund. If you are able, please consider donating the cost of your tickets to help with our ongoing expenses.
• We are continuing to monitor the situation and will follow CDC guidelines and local, state, and public health authorities.

The next production set to take our stage is ROSIE THE RIVETER, starting March 27th. We hope that we can provide a safe and healthy experience for all our patrons, guests, and volunteers. Please watch our website and social media posts for any updates, schedule changes, or other information regarding our programming.

We wish all our patrons, supporters, and volunteers good health, and hope the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is short-lived.
