Performing Arts Center
Effective December 14, 2022, The Chabot College Performing Arts Complex no longer requires proof of vaccination, negative COVID-19 test or universal masking for visitors attending in-person on-campus events. This includes visiting performers, visiting event staff and / or volunteers who are not employed by Chabot College.
While these measures are no longer required, The Chabot College Performing Arts Complex highly encourages visitors to our venues to ensure they are up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccinations before working, performing in or attending our events.
The Chabot College Performing Arts Complex will support any client renting our facilities who may opt to require stricter COVID-19 policies for cast, crew and / or patrons at their events. College employees will continue to have the option to request that others wear masks while present in their personal workspace.
Please note that proof of vaccination is still required for Chabot College staff members and for students attending in-person classes, per COVID-19 safety protocols implemented by the Chabot Las Positas Community College Board of Trustees. (BP 7330 Communicable Diseases, & BP 5210 Communicable Diseases for Students).
Learn more about our district's COVID-19 protocols and guidelines here.
