COVID Guidelines
By making a ticket purchase, the buyer agrees to adhere to the COVID policies that are in place at our venue at the time of the performance. COVID Safety policies are subject to change according to artist requirements, current recommended guidelines, severity of the pandemic, and will not be considered cause for a future refund.
February 29, 2022 – In response to current CDC guidelines, and significantly declining local hospitalization rates, the Capitol Center for the Arts announced it will be downgrading their Masking Policy from “Mask Required” for all shows to “Masking Optional” for all shows. This change will take effect on March 16th and will apply to performances at both the Chubb Theatre and the Bank of New Hampshire Stage.
“The Capitol Center for the Arts will continue to monitor the COVID pandemic statistics and make public safety decisions based on CDC recommendations. We always strive to do what is in the best interest for our patrons” says Sal Prizio Executive Director. “While masks will be optional, individuals who prefer to mask will of course be welcome to do so and masks will still be available at ticketing stations for any patron who needs one,” Prizio continued. “We are mindful that this pandemic has been unpredictable, and should the data ever indicate a return to our mask mandate is warranted we will continue to do so.”
The Capitol Center’s ticketing policy requires purchasers to adhere to safety protocols in place on the day of the performance and not on the day of the ticket purchase, so patrons should continue to watch for communications on any protocol changes for upcoming performances.
What to expect at your next visit…
Due to ongoing developments, COVID-19 guidelines for attending an indoor event may change at any time. To ensure we can gather safely, the Capitol Center for the Arts (CCA) will enforce the COVID-19 guidelines in effect on the day of the event. Ticket holders are expected to follow these guidelines while at CCA venues and event spaces (Chubb Theatre, Governor’s Hall, Kimball House, Bank of NH Stage, Cantin Room).
The ticket buyer accepts responsibility that the people for whom they are buying tickets will also follow these guidelines. We will notify ticket buyers by email the day before the event with the current guidelines. Should you have any questions, please contact the box office. We appreciate your help in keeping fellow patrons, staff, artists and our community safe.

Please note these policies are subject to change at any time. Any updates to these procedures will be noted on this page.
