Policies as of October 13, 2022
The health and safety of our audience, artists, staff, and community are of utmost importance. We hope these protocols, developed in consultation with public health guidance and Chicago’s performing arts sector, offer additional layers of protection and reduce the risk of COVID-19.
We anticipate maintaining these protocols through October 2022 or until such time prevailing medical guidance allows for a relaxation of certain policies. Please revisit this page prior to your scheduled performance for the latest protocols. Send any questions to BoxOffice@AmericanBluesTheater.com or call (773) 654-3103.
The following protocols are in effect for Alma.

MASKS
While Cook County is at a low COVID community spread risk level (according to the CDC), patrons are not required to wear a mask if they show proof of vaccination at check-in. Any patrons who do not show proof of vaccination at check-in must remain masked while inside the building.
Should Cook County return to a medium or high COVID community spread risk level (according to the CDC), all patrons and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask for the safety of the performers. Please properly wear a mask covering both nose and mouth while inside the theater venue. Scarves, bandanas, gaiters, and masks with valves are unacceptable.
VACCINATIONS
We are no longer checking vaccinations for entrance to a performance. However, if Cook County is at a low COVID community spread risk level, and you prefer to go maskless, you must show proof of vaccination.
