COVID-19 Safety Information
UPDATED JULY 1, 2022
As of June 1, we are no longer requiring proof of vaccination for artists or audiences.
As of July 1, masking is optional and encouraged at CWP performances and events. Artists are not required or expected to wear masks while performing. Artists, audiences and Staff members are required to wear a face covering during common areas and bathrooms.
We do ask that artists and audience members stay home if they are feeling ill, have any symptoms of COVID-19, or have a positive rapid test.
CWP may resume requiring masking or proof of vaccination if public health conditions or regulations require, or for a specific production at the request of the artist.

Dear CWP Community,
As you are no doubt aware, we are in the midst of another surge in COVID-19 cases due to the spread of the Omicron variant. In order to protect the health and safety of our community, we are suspending all in-person, public events at The Center at West Park through the end of January. Limited capacity rentals are still available for those interested. We will reassess the duration of this suspension on a weekly basis until the end of the current surge.

Dear community,
We are delighted to begin welcoming audiences and renters back to The Center at West Park for our Fall 2021 season. Our first priority is to create a safe and welcoming environment for all our patrons, artists, renters, and staff.
As of September 13, 2021, we will require all artists, staff, and attendees (ages twelve and older) to show proof they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine per the New York City mandate.
We will also be asking our artists, staff, and attendees to wear masks at all performances and events, and in the public spaces of our building at all times. Performers may be unmasked onstage but must wear masks in other public spaces in our building.
To attend a performance or event at the Center at West Park this fall, please plan to:
Show proof of vaccination.
Wear a mask.
Ways to show proof of vaccination include:
