non-members, casting personnel, creatives, producers, musicians, COVID
Safety Managers, etc.) will be required to undergo a symptom check and
provide one of the following prior to entry into the venue:

If
the risk level for New York County is trending upwards and may rise to
High (Red) we will contact members with appointments at least 24 hours
before the first audition appointment time to let them know there is a
chance that the auditions may need to be postponed or cancelled. All
members with appointments will be notified if the auditions must be
postponed or cancelled. We encourage members to prepare for their
audition at home, to the extent that they can (e.g., get dressed,
hair/make-up, etc.) to avoid crowding in bathrooms and dressing rooms.
Holding/Audition room information:
The audition room can accommodate no more than 50 individuals at a time.
The holding room can accommodate no more than 35 individuals at a time.
