33 Hawley is closely monitoring the news regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19). We know you have all been thinking through possible implications of the the COVID-19 outbreak.
At this point our doors are open as we continue to care deeply about the health and well-being of all who visit 33 Hawley.
What we are doing:
We’re closely monitoring official guidance from local government and health authorities and the CDC in order to support the health and wellbeing of our community.
In additional to our regular cleaning procedures we have introduced the following measures:
We are encouraging staff, faculty and community members to stay home if they present symptoms
· Our professional cleaner has increased his visits and we are now wiping down all external and internal doors every day in addition to the regular cleaning of the building.
Instructional hand-washing signs are up in every bathroom
We are asking guests and staff to wash hands at the beginning and end of each class, workshop, or performance
Staff working in the building are ready to answer questions that may arise.
We are suspending performances of more than 50 people from March 15 to March 31 and reconsidering beyond that over the next two weeks. Classes and Workshops may continue, check with your teacher or staff for that information.

What can you do to help?
Be self sustaining: stay home and seek medical help if you present symptoms
Be conscious of the space you are using: if renting the studio for your own classes and/or rehearsals, encourage a clean transition as studios shift to the next inhabitant
