Due to the current state of COVID-19, this act has opted to implement a COVID-19 Vaccination/Negative Test Policy to ensure the safety of all patrons and staff.
Proof of vaccination or a negative test result of a COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the performance will need to be presented during the security screening process to enter the venue. PCR and Rapid tests will be accepted. Proof of negative result needs to include patron’s name that matches a form of government ID, also to be show to security, and a visible timestamp to ensure it was taken during the 72 hour timeframe prior to the show. Due to this change in policy, if you are unwilling or unable to present proof of vaccination or a negative result of a COVID-19 test, taken within the appropriate timeframe, please contact us directly at info@thewilbur.com.
Thank you for your patronage, support and compliancy during these unprecedented times. We are all in this together!
