Safety Protocols at BAPF46

The safety of our artists, audiences, crew, and staff remain our top priority. Our COVID-19 policy is in accordance with the guidelines provided by the State of California and the City of San Francisco. At this time, proof of vaccination or a negative test and masks are no longer required, but remain strongly encouraged. We are evaluating and updating this protocol in accordance with the CDC COVID-19 Community Level by County, which currently rates the community risk level as LOW. If you are feeling ill, please stay home.
These policies are subject to change.
