To continue to do OUR part in keeping our theater ohana safe, Maui OnStage is continuing to follow our Health and Safety Protocols below:
- AIR CONDITIONING: The Historic Iao Theater’s central air conditioning system is serviced quarterly by Sturdevant Refrigeration & Air Conditioning. The system is set for downward directional airflow to reduce aerosolized particle spread. They have also adjusted our system to allow for maximum fresh air exchange and to keep the temperature and RH (relative humidity) at ASHRAE recommended levels.
- BOX OFFICE: Ticket sales are via online or phone. No printed tickets required. Audience check-in starts at least 90 mins before curtain in our outside lobby and is via Guest List.
- CLEANING: All restrooms and dressing rooms will be cleaned and sanitized with an EPA List-N disinfectant (Clorox bleach or Vital Oxide) before the event. All high-contact areas including handrails and theater seats are electrostatically sprayed with Vital Oxide using a Victory Innovations electrostatic backpack sprayer. (*This is the same piece of equipment and chemical used to disinfect ambulances, airplanes and hospitals.) Our marley stage floor is disinfected prior to each event with either 70% alcohol or StageStep ProClean D Plus. Microphones and other equipment used by participants will be sanitized with 70%+ alcohol wipes before and after the event. Items should NOT be shared between participants. All trash removed after event.
- CONCESSIONS: All Concession sales have been suspended until County indoor mask mandates are lifted. No food or beverages are allowed in the theater. Performers are allowed to have water or other non-alcoholic beverages in personal containers.
- HAND SANITIZER/SOAP: Hand sanitizer stations are located in the outside lobby and throughout the theater. Soap and paper towels are provided in all restrooms.
- MASK WEARING: While it is no longer required by the state of Hawaii, Maui OnStage highly recommends and supports the wearing of face masks while inside the theater.
- RESTROOMS: All restrooms will be cleaned and sanitized with an EPA List-N disinfectant (Clorox bleach or Vital Oxide) before the event.
- SOCIAL DISTANCING: We ask that all event participants please be mindful of others comfort level and give everyone their personal space. Audience members are NOT allowed on stage or backstage.
- SYMPTOM FREE: We ask all event participants to be aware of their own health and stay home if they are not feeling well.
