COVID-19 Protocols
March 27, 2022: Masks required through reminder of 2021–22 season.
All patrons are required to wear masks through the end of our current season on May 7, regardless of vaccination status. Student Musical Activities (SMA) is strongly recommending that everyone onsite wear N95, KN95, KF94, or FFP2 masks, as they have been shown to be some of the most effective at protecting against COVID-19 transmission. If these masks are not available, double masking is strongly recommended.
Additionally, SMA continues to require that all performance attendees ages 5 and up be fully vaccinated to the maximum extent for which they are eligible.
Proof of Vaccination
Given current public health directives from state, local, and university authorities, proof of full vaccination (defined as two weeks after your final dose) will be required for all patrons for entry to all SMA performances until further notice.
Acceptable methods for Proof of Vaccination
All methods, except the CLEAR Health Pass, will require that you display a valid photo ID. We highly recommend one of the following digital methods:
- CLEAR Health Pass: To ensure a faster and easier process to enter the venue, Cal Performances is grateful for the assistance of our promoter partner at the Greek Theatre, Another Planet Entertainment, in allowing our patrons to implement the FREE Health Pass by CLEAR for entry to Zellerbach Hall. See complete instructions on how to download the Clear App and obtain your Health Pass.
- For UC Berkeley faculty, staff, and students ONLY: A green Campus Access Badge via the UC Berkeley Mobile app (not eTang).
- A personal digital COVID-19 vaccine record issued by the State of California, or similar documentation issued by another state, local, or foreign governmental jurisdiction
- An authentic digital record that includes a QR code scannable by a SMART Health Card reader that accurately displays client name, date of birth, vaccine dates, and vaccine type. More information and download >
Other acceptable forms of POV:
- Vaccination Card issued by the CDC or a foreign governmental jurisdiction that includes the name of the person vaccinated, the type of vaccine provided, and the date(s) the dose or doses were administered.
- A photo or copy of a Vaccination Card either as a hard copy or stored as a photo on a phone or electronic device.
- Documentation of vaccination from a healthcare provider.
Mask Requirements
In accordance with City of Berkeley and University policies, a face covering that completely covers your nose and mouth and has ear loops (or similar) to hold it in place must be worn at all times in the venue (including throughout the performance).
Refund Policy
We’ve temporarily updated our ticket refund and exchange policies in response to these protocols to give you as much flexibility as possible. Should, for any reason, a change in policy or public health conditions make you uncomfortable with your ticket purchase, or you are displaying symptoms, we will be happy to offer an exchange, credit you for a ticket donation, or issue a refund upon request.
UC Berkeley does not promise or guarantee that all patrons or employees on site are vaccinated. Unvaccinated individuals may be present as a result of exemptions, exceptions, fraudulent verification, or checker error. None of these precautions eliminate the risk of exposure to COVID-19.
