PLEASE NOTE: COVID-19 Safety Protocol Review Process
For Fully Vaccinated Companies (NEW!):
- Employers of fully vaccinated companies must sign the SDC COVID-19 Safety Plan Rider which requires the employer to affirm they have implemented the necessary layers of protection against the spread of COVID-19 in their workplace. This rider must be signed by the employer and returned to SDC along with the appropriate contract. For the SDC COVID-19 Safety Plan Rider click here.
For All Other Companies:
- Employers will continue to follow the previous safety protocol review process.
- Employers must submit and SDC must clear a comprehensive Covid-19 Workplace Safety Plan before SDC Members may provide any in-person services under an SDC contract (including auditions, pre-production meetings, rehearsal, etc.).
- The SDC COVID-19 Safety Worksheet must be submitted to Contracts@SDCweb.org for each production prior to contracting but in no event later than four (4) weeks prior to rehearsals. A theatre/producer’s comprehensive COVID-19 Safety Plan must accompany the first Worksheet submitted for clearance. For subsequent productions, only the Worksheet is required.
- If cleared, SDC will authorize an SDC contract for the activity and permit its Members to provide in-person services under that contract for that specific production/project only.
