Clean Air at OtB
After hearing from many community members, and in an effort to more closely align with our values around equity and access, we are creating more accessible seating for our 24/25 Season. This is specifically to create risk reduction and access for vulnerable community members through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
We’ve partnered with Clean Air Events to create more accessible seating for our community on opening nights.
Last season, every show in our accessible section sold out, and those in attendance represented a much more diverse audience across every demographic compared to our general audience.
We care a hell of a lot about equity and access, and clean air benefits everyone!
Far UV C is a new and safe technology that clears the air by deactivating and destroying 99.9% of airborne pathogens at the speed of light. So far, we are the only known theater in the country using this technology.
If it’s good for the smart people at Davos, it’s good for us!
In addition, audiences can expect:
Thursday night performances will offer COVID Safe(r) Seating, with the back 1/3 of the 300-seat theater blocked off as a mask-required section.
The accessible section can accommodate ~40 audience members, allowing more space between seats.
The theater offers 2 HVAC systems with MERV 13 filters, and Brisk Box portable filters will be placed throughout the designated section.
We have an in-house Aranet reader and will share data as the season progresses.
There is a separate, mobility device-accessible entrance for those who prefer to avoid our raucous lobby while accessing their seats.
There will be a mobility device-accessible bathroom available that is not used by the general public.
