WEARING MASKS
Although the indoor mask mandate has been eased in Los Angeles County, HERO Theatre will require all guests to remain masked, regardless of vaccination status. Masks must be worn over the mouth and nose at all times except while eating or consuming beverages. Masks will be mandatory at all times inside our theaters. Only these types of masks may be worn: medical/surgical masks, N95, KN95, or KF94. Unacceptable masks include: cloth, neck gaiters, bandanas, and masks with vents. Medical/surgical masks will be provided to patrons if needed. We will not be social distancing audiences inside of the theaters. |
