How Your Community Stage is Handling COVID-19
UPDATE: August 19, 2022
Lakeshore Players Theatre is excited to invite audiences back to enjoy our 70th season filled with great stories told by talented artists and performers. We’re excited to announce that the board of directors and staff of Lakeshore Players Theatre are joining many other theatres across the country in lifting some of our COVID-19 safety protocols. See below for details. As we have throughout the pandemic, LPT will continue to follow the advice and guidelines from the Minnesota Department of Health and the CDC. The safety & well-being of our audiences, artists, staff and volunteers is our top priority, and so we reserve the right to change our protocols if community levels of COVID-19 rise in our area. Check back on this page for updates and policy changes.

COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the event may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of ticket holders and others, including, but not limited to, employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance at the event or participation in concert programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Hanifl Performing Arts Center and Lakeshore Players, Inc., its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto.
