    Masks are required at all times in the building. All tickets are will-call; no printed or digital ticket is necessary for entry. However, all attendees must show one of the following at check-in for entry: proof of COVID-19 vaccination (vaccine card or photo of vaccine card); documented negative result from a COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the event; or a current University of Chicago I.D. card.

    ACCESSIBILITY

    The 3rd floor of Swift Hall is reachable by stairs or elevator.

This is a seated event, and volume levels will not be excessive. Live captioning will be available.
