Maintaining a clean space

Our theatre is equipped with 4 rooftop HVAC units, and sanitation measures were added to ensure all high touch areas are cleaned frequently.

Masks & PPE

Masks are still strongly encouraged inside the TPM building. Many of our patrons and staff may still be wearing a mask. There will be select “Mask Mandatory” Performances throughout our 2023.24 Season, please check for these performance dates when booking your tickets.

The safety of our staff, performers and patrons are of the utmost importance. Changes to our policies are informed by updates relating to infection rates, transmission data, variant developments, and local and federal health regulations.

Take a look at our detailed Covid-19 protocols below. If you have any further questions or concerns please contact us at info@passemuraille.on.ca

Here are a few examples:

  • The theatre is equipped with 4 rooftop HVAC units that constantly cycle the air in the building. The Mainspace is further equipped with two ceiling fans that draw air upwards to the HVAC air intake. These systems were revisited at the beginning of the pandemic and shall remain on at all times.
  • There are added sanitation measures to ensure all high touch areas are being cleaned and sanitized.
  • Hand sanitizer will be available.
  • In areas that are too narrow for two people to pass within 2 m distance. You may yield at the doorways and hallways and wait for one person to pass through one-at-a-time

Masks are still strongly encouraged inside the TPM building. Many of our patrons and staff may still be wearing a mask. If you would like to attend a performance where audience members will be required to wear a mask please look for our “Mask Mandatory” Performances when booking your tickets.

Vaccine Chats

On October 28 2021, Theatre Passe Muraille hosted a chat between Artistic Director Marjorie Chan, Dr. Harjot Atwal, Dr. Alia Dharamsi, and Janelle Noel from Women’s College Hospital to answer some of our community’s burning questions about vaccinations and the new vaccine protocol. How safe should theatre patrons feel in a space where everyone is fully vaccinated and masked? How do the vaccines actually work, and how did they come to market?
