Newport Studio

What precautions are you taking with regard to Covid-19?

​

At the Newport Theater, we take this public health matter very seriously. 

• Restrooms, common areas, dressing room, and theater will be sanitized multiple times per day 

• Hand sanitizer and cleaning products available onsite. 

• Two portable HEPA air purifiers, one with an additional UV filtration system, run on the highest setting for the duration of filming.  We also open the windows and run fans to bring in fresh outside air periodically. 

• Artists will be provided a private, sanitized dressing room, though we advise artists to arrive with hair/makeup done to minimize touching their face while onsite and to make the most of their allotted time slot. 

• The onsite crew is limited to a videographer and an editor (and ocassionally an audio/lighting engineer upon request), all of whom will wear a KN-95 mask (protecting both the crew and the artists) provided by the Newport Theater, as well as remain 6 feet away from the artists during recording.

• Artists will not be required to wear a mask while recording, but are required to wear a mask otherwise. Please do NOT wear a mask with vents. 

• Infrared temperature checks will be performed on all artists and crew. Those turned away due to fever will be issued a full refund. 

• We ask that any non-essential personnel not accompany you to your shoot. 

• If you're filming with a partner, we highly recommend you both get Covid tests before working together.
