                       SAFETY MEASURES
                       Thank you for joining us for today’s performance.
                       The Springer is dedicated to providing the best and safest
                       experience possible for every patron. Below are just a few
                       of the safety measures we will employ this season. We
                       hope you enjoy the show!

 • Staff and patron temperatures will be taken before entry.

 • All patrons, volunteers, and staff must wear face masks when inside the building.

 • We have reduced audience capacity for all shows.

 • Multiple hand-sanitizer stations are available in every public area.

 • Inside Emily Woodruff Hall and the Dorothy McClure Theatre, gap seats will be
   placed between each party to provide social distancing.

 • A rigerous cleaning schedule has been employed throughout the building and
   outdoor spaces.

 • Ultra-violet devices have been installed inside our new air handlers to kill viruses and
   bacteria. High-end MERV-11 air filters have also been installed for the best quality
   fresh air circulation.

 • Electro-static disinfectant foggers are used between shows in all areas.

FROM THE DIRECTOR
Welcome back!

It has been such an honor to direct The Wizard of Oz. Being in rehearsal
with such talented people has reminded me of the true meaning of the
holiday season-togetherness. This cast began as strangers but quickly
became a family. The buzz in the air as they build off each other’s
energy has been the most uplifting part of this process. But theatre is a
two-sided experience. As we prepare to open this production, we can’t
wait to add the other half of the live theatre equation: you.

Gathering to experience unique artistic expressions has connected
communities around the world for centuries. The art of theatre thrives
on it. Being fully present with a group of tangible, living people is
essential to the human spirit. Theatre reminds us we are not alone.
There is nothing like laughing in a room full of strangers to remind
us how connected we really are. This holiday season has brought with
it a feeling of rejuvenation. Something was missing this past year that
society has been aching to get back: Live, in-person, togetherness.

The timeless tale of the Wizard of Oz has brought families and friends
together for generations. It reminds us that every one of us has the
power to choose our destiny. When things feel out of control, always
remember that there’s no place like home with the people who love
you. Whether that means relatives or friends, a family is made up of
people who love you and when you’re with them you are home.

For us, the Springer is our home and we are so thankful you are here
with us. This holiday season, take time to gather with loved ones. After
all, “there’s no place like home.” Thank you for keeping the Springer
part of your holiday traditions.

Happy Holidays,

Katie Underwood
