| The shows that are selling well, will continue to sell well, the iffy ones, will still be iffy or close. I don't believe Broadway is losing a large part of its audience due to mask wearing mandates. Having to be vaccinated might have caused a slight decrease in attendance, but asking patrons to mask up for a few hours will not cause the majority of attendees to storm the doors and refuse to be kind to each other. Actually I think theatre patrons will actually feel safer knowing that at least if I don't know your vaccine status, you will have a slight (or hopefully better) barrier on which offers a little protection from having your mouth juices spraying all over the back of my head or in my face while you are laughing, singing along, or very loudly taking to your neighbors. I have noticed on the subway that even the non wearing mask people want to sit safer, I watch them and they look for the clusters of mask wearers and try to sit by them, they shun their non mask wearing riders. The mask riders start giving the "don't even think about it look", or immediately turn their bodies away from non ask wearer, it is really funny to watch. All kidding aside, does it really hurt the bottom line of the INDOOR, NO SAFE DISTANCING, VACCINATION STATUS UNKNOWN Broadway houses to continue with mask up mandates? Doesn't it help protect the people that work there also? Sigh... |

| Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it isn't true. Obviously the league believes there ARE more people who are resisting theatre because of the mask mandates than those who will avoid it when the mandate is dropped. Of course I don't think those figures, or that ratio, is static, surely 6 months ago more people wanted the masks. But numbers are down, most people have had it, and now it's time for the world, in aggregate, to move on. If you're worried about others, you still have the option of a well-fitting KN-95 mask. | |

| Please correct me if I'm wrong, but all I think we know is that he TESTED positive for COVID, presumably via a fairly sensitive PCR test. I don't believe we know if he was symptomatic/ill. There is a strong likelihood that we are all being exposed to the coronavirus in our daily lives. But so many of us have "had it" and are vaccinated, that our bodies are now able to fight it off and prevent illness. However, there is potentially a period of time while the virus is multiplying and the immune system is fighting it, where maybe it takes a little bit longer, and so there is enough viral load at some point to test positive via PCR. And when that happens, you have to take a 10[?]-day timeout, but there's a good chance you have minimal or no symptoms. As far as being contagious to others, I don't think we actually know what the threshold is for that, but we obviously continue to err on the side of caution with the isolation. So I think there's a lot of nuance about "he had COVID twice" that is getting lost. |

| Again, I agree wholeheartedly with you. I wear a triple mask & eyeglasses when working the events in a large catering hall...guests rarely masks, & thank God I have so far remained safe. But it's a whole other situation, standing or sitting shoulder to shoulder breathing the air expelled by 1000 plus potentially maskless mouths. And it's bound to reach the actors on the stage. It's also interesting so many called out from shows in the week following the Tonys where very few audience wore masks. As an actor, I will keep limiting my auditions to film & tv for now...so sad. | |

| Usher here. I'm relieved, frankly. It's been a very, very, very trying time to get certain folks to wear their masks. I was screamed at and accosted during interval of MJ recently for doing my job. Whoever wants to wear one, wear it. Whoever doesn't, don't. I just don't want to be in the line of fire any longer. | |

| And I imagine that - outside of the more cautious among us - this take, not coming at all from an ideological standpoint, could represent the majority of the public at large. With proof of vaccination only having started to be phased out in the last month (and still required in some theaters), it’s very hard for me to imagine many people suddenly entering or re-entering the largely liberal world of New York theatergoing who are completely unvaccinated. But if they are, a) that’s on them, should they somehow catch the virus at a play, and b) there’s absolutely no question they’d be in the minority. Regardless, while it’s clear from the response here that some will go to theater less (which I understand, particularly among older or immune-compromised theatergoers), there’s also no doubt in my mind that the mandates at this point are also keeping some people away. Which group is larger remains to be seen, which is why it’s smart they’ve given themselves some wiggle room here - by the fall, if audiences are staying away from serious plays like The Piano Lesson and Death of a Salesman, it would seem that the veteran theatergoers will have been put off by dropping the mandates, and perhaps we’ll again have a situation like the past month or two where a few of the straight plays still required proof of vaccine while most of the musicals didn’t. On the other hand, if industry business in general is at minimum no worse than it was this spring, I could see the mask-optional policy, for better or worse, here to stay. At the time they announced they were dropping vaccine checks but keeping masking, the prevailing opinion on this and the other board was, I believe, “Great. The exact opposite of what we all wanted.” So they’re never going to make everyone happy, and many people will always be annoyed whatever the policy is. Trying something different, at least for the summer months, will be a welcome change. And I’ll be wearing my mask, at minimum, for any shows that seem to have a lot of families, tourists or out-of-towners, as a precaution both to myself and to them. |

| I feel like this is the unpopular opinion, but the realistic one: Broadway is really just catching up to the rest of New York. Mask-wearing on the subway is at 50% or less, by my guess, even though the MTA technically still requires masks. Other mass transit services have already waived mask requirements. And most restaurants, movie theaters, gyms, bars and clubs don't require masks. And, personally, I don't think I know anyone who masks 100% of the time anymore - even those with the best intentions and health concerns. Should the League enforce masks in the future if there is another wave? Absolutely - and they've indicated that they will review monthly. So that's good. Most of us did the socially and physically responsible thing and have kept masked, gotten vaccinated and boosted, and exercised caution. We did it to protect ourselves and to protect our community. We've earned the right now to weigh the risks and make our own informed decision as we transition to the virus being a daily part of life for the foreseeable future. If you know you're sick - stay home. If you feel better wearing a mask at the theatre, wear a mask. If you have to wear a mask due to your personal health conditions, wear the mask. |

| I find this change in policy very disconcerting. Personally I will be very uneasy returning to a venue where masking is optional. First, there is no guarantee that people who feel sick will do the right thing and stay home. We hope they will, but some might not. If they are masked, they will be less likely to make others sick. Second, even if I wear a mask - unless it’s an N95 with a tight seal - the protection is minimal to me. The mask prevents my respiratory droplets from being dispersed but doesn’t really protect me from the droplets of others who are not masked. Masking with surgical or other masks is only effective when everyone is masking. Third, the vaccines and boosters have proven less effective against omicron and its more recent variants, which is why we have been seeing people come down with COVID two (and even three) times despite being vaxxed and boosted. People may not be getting as sick, but they are still contracting it despite the vaccines, which were developed prior to the current variants. Fourth, I know several people who have contracted the omicron variant of COVID and who are dealing with lingering after effects for months. As much as we would like to think it’s like getting a cold or a flu. It’s not. Ask anyone e dealing with long COVID. I have several friends in this category, and the struggle is real. Many don’t get long COVID. There are many who are asymptomatic or only mildly ill from it, but who wants to take that risk? I don’t. There’s so much we are still learning about this virus and it’s impact on the brain and body over time. I have friends who are still fatigued, having problems with brain fog, and problems with taste/smell months after contracting omicron during the December wave. And, yes, they were all vaxxed and boosted. Masking isn’t just for show, it actually keeps the germs contained to a certain extent. If I’m the only one wearing a mask, that’s for show. It won’t protect me. The only viable option is not to attend live theater. Again. And that makes me really sad. PS - I am fully vaxxed and boosted x 2. |

| You’re talking about the people who did the responsible thing over the pandemic: got vaccinated and boosted, taking appropriate precautions, staying away from people if they are sick. If I knew I was sitting with those people for two to three hours, that would be a completely different situation. | |

| First, my preference would be to have the mask requirement stay. I feel more comfortable that way, and I see one or two things in the average week. However, I attended several shows in London this spring (where there was no vaccination or mask requirement) and last October (where there was a vaccine requirement but no mask requirement). At both times, almost no one was masked in the theater. I counted 3 masked people including myself at the Sondheim tribute on May 3rd, for example. In fact I thought thought then that London was being shockingly irresponsible--most people were also unmasked on the subway (only a few mask wearers), and you weren't even required to isolate or even stay home if you had Covid! . ANYWAY, my point is, London's Covid has not spiked--it was higher in May than it is now, in spite of the complete lack of precautions. So, while I will still be wearing my mask in the theater and I dearly wish others would, maybe, just maybe, relaxing of mask requirements won't cause the problems we all fear. I guess we'll see! | |

| Right. So if you're more comfortable wearing a mask for your own protection, then wear it. Nobody is saying "you must be maskless to enter this theatre". | |

| if you're more comfortable wearing a mask for your own protection, then wear it. Nobody is saying "you must be maskless to enter this theatre". Right. Wearing a mask still affords the wearer protection. I understand the fears of those who would rather that we all remain masked. But at some point the decision has to be made that life can go on without constant masking. And I think that for some people, there will never ever be a right time for that. So how do we deal with that? I certainly don't wish anyone to severely risk their health, but at the same time, I think we also need to learn how to live with some risk in general. Covid is not going away. But it's also not the severe death sentence it was in 2020, and medications are being developed (along with the vaccines). Please continue to wear a mask at the theatre if you feel it's important for you. No one will stop you. I still carry a mask with me at all times, and assess each situation as I feel I need to. (And Boston theatres are still requiring masks.) But I also think it's time that we stop judging people who choose not to wear them. |

| As ticket prices continue to rise in Boston for Speakeasy and Lyric Stage, as well as for things at the Huntington and North Shore (Even Reagle Theater is coming in at like $60 bucks a seat), I havent been to the theater in quite a few years. However, with theaters still requiring masks I will definitely not be attending theater any time soon. | |

| "I'm going on vacation at the end of July—to a country that requires a negative test for entry—and there's no WAY I'm going to risk getting Covid by attending a Broadway show in the weeks beforehand." Can we assume you're also avoiding restaurants, public transportation, bars, grocery stores, concerts, and sporting events? I don't know where you're vacationing to, but I pray it's not to see shows in London. |

The UK does not require a negative Covid test for entry. |

| "The UK does not require a negative Covid test for entry." If it is in fact UK you're going to, be aware that theatre is unmasked there, and you'll need a negative Covid result to return to the US, unless the US has changed their policy lately. At any rate, that was how it was when I was in London 3 weeks ago. |

| The CDC changed their policy on June 12th. You no longer need a negative covid test result to return to the U.S. I was in Spain, Corsica, Italy, Sicily, Croatia, and Switzerland in April. At that time I needed a negative result to leave the U.S. and another negative result to board a plane returning to the U.S. |

| Since I've already stated it's a country that does require a negative Covid test, it's obviously not the UK. The US no longer requires negative Covid tests for reentry. |

| Seemed inevitable after the mask-less Tonys. | |

| Everyone in the mezzanine and balcony was wearing a mask. (I was as well, in the orchestra, as were some others.) | |

| Yes, I was part of the discussion on the board that night. None the less, the perception to the viewer was that masks were generally not worn. As I said that evening, from a modeling behavior perspective, it did convey permission to go mask-less. I don't think that was their intention, however my first thought that night was," well looks like the mask mandate will not be extended." On second thought, perhaps it was their intention. Maybe the Tonys were used to telegraph the mask change. I certainly don't know. |

| Or just not see everything you would see otherwise, which I think is the option I will be taking. I’m agree this seemed inevitable but I don’t agree with this decision. | |

| They are making a huge mistake. Count me out of audiences, & betting next to go will be the behind the scenes protection of actor & crew. | |
