COVID-19 Policies

Park Avenue Armory cares about the health and safety of our audiences, artists, and staff.

While Park Avenue Armory strongly recommends vaccination against COVID-19, proof of vaccination is not currently required to attend performances and events.

Masks are optional—all guests are encouraged to wear a mask in the Armory to protect themselves and others, but it is not required.

Please do not come to the Armory if you feel ill, have any onset symptoms of COVID-19, test positive for COVID-19, or have been in close contact with someone infected with or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public space where people are present. Those attending performances at the Armory do so at their own risk.

The Armory has been on the front edge of safety standards since the pandemic began and we will continue to follow government and CDC guidelines and adjust policies as needed. We will strive to communicate substantial changes to health and safety protocols in advance of performances via email. We also encourage visitors to visit our website prior to their arrival for the most up-to-date information.
