Necessary Sacrifices COVID-19 Safety Plan

Breadcrumb

Ford’s Theatre followed robust safety protocols for its its recording of Necessary Sacrifices in March of 2021.

All rehearsals and meetings were conducted virtually, including a mandatory review of all health and safety protocols that were in place for the audio capture.
All personnel were tested three times: 7 days, 72 hours and 48 hours prior to arrival on-site for recording.
All negative test results were received by the certified COVID-19 Compliance Officer (C19CO) before personnel were allowed into the theatre.
Work calls were staggered to ensure limited contact with others.
Before entry into theatre, the C19CO conducted private health screenings of all personnel, including a temperature check and review of any possible symptoms of infection.
Arrivals were staggered to ensure privacy and safety.
Following entry and set-up, all personnel were restricted to their dressing rooms in order to limit contact with others as much as possible.
Everyone received personal kits, which included masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and bottled water (and a face shield for the sound engineer, should he need to come into close contact with actors).
All personnel always wore masks while on-site, except for when isolated in individual dressing rooms.
All equipment was personally assigned to individuals and was disinfected before and after use.
All personnel were assigned private dressing rooms rooms equipped with HEPA air purifiers and had assigned bathrooms.
