HEALTH & SAFETY

A Far Cry is committed to providing a safe environment for our audiences, musicians, and staff. Thank you for adhering to our protocols and for your partnership in making our return to the concert hall a safe and joyous one.

Please note that the following safety protocols are currently in effect for A Far Cry concerts; however, we know how quickly things can change. We will continue to monitor state, municipal, and federal guidelines and policies to inform and update safety protocols across the 2022-2023 season and as public health conditions dictate. A Far Cry will proactively communicate with ticket holders about any changes to safety protocols across the season. You can also check back on this page for updates and/or contact the A Far Cry Box Office (boxoffice@afarcry.org or 617.553.4887) with questions.


A FAR CRY SAFETY PROTOCOLS

At this time, A Far Cry’s Safety Protocols include the following:

AFC RUNS ON DATA

We have been closely following the Audience Outlook Monitor, a comprehensive & longitudinal study of Boston arts attendees conducted by WolfBrown and supported by ArtsBoston, which concluded that 98% of survey respondents are fully or partially vaccinated as of November, 2021.
