Amid rising COVID-19 cases and the increasing threat of the Delta variant, we are taking this step to provide the highest level of public safety for audiences, staff, volunteers, and artists.

The vaccine and masking policies began with the return of indoor performances on September 17, 2021. Health and safety policies will continue to be regularly evaluated and adjusted based on community health data, and public health and government guidance.

Yes, we will need to verify your vaccine status for every Pittsburgh Cultural Trust indoor performance you attend, to ensure the ticket holder is the person vaccinated.

The following documentation is acceptable:

• Vaccination card (which includes name of person vaccinated, type of vaccine provided and date last dose administered) OR
• A photo of a vaccination card as a separate document OR
• A photo of the attendee’s vaccine card stored on a phone or electronic device OR
• Documentation of vaccination from a healthcare provider electronic health record or state Immunization Information System record.
• Matching photo ID required at the door. Self-reported vaccination records that are not verified by a health care provider cannot be accepted.

In order to attend an indoor event presented by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust you must be fully vaccinated. The only exceptions are:

• guests under the age of 12*, who must be tested and accompanied by an adult that meets our venue’s vaccination requirements; or
• guests who need reasonable accommodations due to a medical exception or a sincerely held religious belief

For guests who are not able to be vaccinated for one of the reasons listed above, including those under 12 years old, they must provide one of the following instead of evidence of vaccination. COVID tests must be administered by an official testing center such as Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, MedExpress, etc. Self-administered or at-home tests will not be accepted. The only acceptable tests are:

We have a fundamental belief that most people are good and honest. In addition to the acceptable forms of vaccination proof we have listed in our protocols, we will be checking for matching ID. The Cultural Trust is implementing training for both our COVID Compliance Officers and security screeners to recognize proof of vaccination and violations. Those misrepresenting themselves as vaccinated are reminded that doing so is a federal crime. Please note that vaccine verification is one of many layers of safety that are being deployed for guest health and safety.
