Safety At The Bishop

COVID-19 Policy: We are committed to providing a healthy and safe facility for audiences, performers, guests, and staff. Based on CDC and federal guidelines at the time of performance, our protocols are subject to change. Ticket holders who do not comply with our venue policies will not be admitted. Our current safety guidelines are:

• Identification. All patrons and guests must also show identification upon entering the building.
• Proof of Vaccination. is not a requirement for audience members. Rapid tests are available free of charge.
• Face Masks. In accordance with CDC guidelines, face coverings are encouraged but not required at all BATC events. Masks will be made available for patrons who need them.
• Air filtration. We have upgraded BATC’s HVAC systems to comply with CDC guidelines for hospital-grade filtration and increasing fresh outdoor air and air exchange to the greatest extent possible. Click here to learn more about upgrades made to our system to mitigate the spread of coronavirus.
• Electrostatic Protection. For multiple performances in one day such as a matinee and evening show, as an added layer of safety, we treat all surfaces in the theatre with an electrostatic anti-microbial protectant.
• Hand sanitizing stations. Hand sanitizing stations are placed throughout the building and should be used unless medically prohibited. We encourage all patrons to go directly to their seats unless they need to use the restroom or wish to purchase concession or merchandise items.
• Reducing contact. To reduce contact and our carbon footprint, online digital tickets are used which provide easy tracking and streamlined entry.
• Contact information. For contact tracing purposes, we encourage all patrons to have their temperatures checked upon entering the theatre so BATC has an easy way to notify you, should there be a need to do so.

Refunds: As a result of COVID-19, BATC is implementing an exchange and refund policy for guests. This policy will provide flexibility in the event a guest may be unable to attend a show due to illness, travel restrictions, or any other circumstances. Patrons can either refund or exchange their tickets for any other date up until two hours before a performance.
