National Sawdust COVID Safety Protocols - Effective August 2023

Welcome Back to National Sawdust!

We’re excited to host you in our performance home in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

We are relying on you to do your part to protect yourself and others by reviewing and agreeing to the attendance protocols before coming to National Sawdust. All policies and protocols are subject to change at National Sawdust’s sole discretion and without notice.

Please know that artists, artist representatives, production teams, and National Sawdust staff are subject to rapid testing (OTC) before entering the building.

NYC public health guidance allows cultural venues to determine their own policies regarding masks and vaccination. Cultural venues have different mask and vaccination rules because their spaces and activities are different.  National Sawdust’s COVID-19 protocols for audience, staff, artists and other event participants are subject to change pending community transmission levels.

COVID Policy (Effective as of August 2023)

Patrons no longer have to present proof of vaccination for entry. Masks are not required for entry to standing performances and are recommended for seated performances. Masks will be made available at no cost for patrons at all concerts and events.

Patrons will be offered a refund if they no longer wish to attend a performance due to a change in our covid policy. Contact us at boxoffice@nationalsawdust.org to discuss ticket exchange or contribution options.

Feeling unwell? Exposed to Covid recently? STAY HOME.
