Questionnaire for 2020-21 (V. 1)

OVERVIEW
As of June 12, Iowa state government recommendations for these types of public-gathering events include the following two areas of concern for public gatherings in regard to CoVid-19:  cleaning plans for publicly-used items (bathrooms, sinks, tables, chairs, etc.) and social distancing (ability to maintain 6’ of distance between individuals or groups.)  The June 12 changes included dropping 'capacity' and 'group-sizes' recommendations previously on record.  Nebraska recommendations are similar.  "Mandates" have not been part of the equation since at least mid-May.
-Unless this changes, it will be up to us and our venue partners to decide if any further or more stringent protocols will or should be in place for rehearsals, meetings and performances "in person." 
-WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO THE SAFETY AND HEALTH OF EVERY COMPANY MEMBER AND EVERY PATRON AND WILL ACT ACCORDINGLY USING OUR BEST JUDGEMENT AND BEST PRACTICES FOR DOING SO.  AS A GENERAL OBSERVATION, WE DO NOT SEE THE CURRENT STATE RECOMMENDATIONS AS WHOLLY SUFFICIENT RIGHT NOW (MID-JUNE) BUT WILL CONTINUOUSLY MONITOR AND EVALUATE DEVELOPMENTS AS AUTUMN COMES CLOSER.
