SAFE RETURN AT THE GRANADA THEATRE
Our top priority remains the health and safety of our patrons, staff and musicians. The Granada Theatre continues to create comprehensive safety protocols that meet changing government guidelines and ensure the comfort of audiences. Their state of the art HVAC system refreshes the entire volume of air nine times an hour.
Between now and the first performance of the season, we anticipate evolving guidelines which will impact policies on mask wearing, proof of vaccination, and concessions.
