Mask Policy
At this time, all guests are required to wear masks regardless of vaccination status, for the safety of our artists. We will be monitoring CDC masking guidelines, local positivity rates, and the Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County to make further decisions about masks. Please note: performers will not be masked, but will be fully vaccinated and tested regularly.
Vaccination
Urbanite Theatre is a 100% vaccinated workplace where all staff, employees, and artists are vaccinated against COVID-19. We strongly encourage being fully vaccinated before attending any performances at the theater. Please visit the Sarasota County Health and Human Services Department for vaccination information.
HVAC
The Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning units at Urbanite Theatre have been upgraded by adding in-duct UV air purifiers and air scrubbers designed to reduce airborne molecules, including bacteria and viruses. The system's ventilation has also been tested and calibrated by a certified TABB technician, and reviewed by a mechanical engineer to verify proper levels of outside air replacement.
