Health Guidelines at Ragtag

Ragtag follows guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for our health precautions. We continue to re-evaluate our health precautions to adapt to local transmission of COVID-19.

Masks are encouraged for patrons & staff. Please note that Ragtag reserves the right to adjust requirements and venue protocols to ensure the safety of our staff, patrons, and artist. Be sure to check the film page for the latest information.

UPDATE 4/21/2023: As of Friday, April 21, 2023, vaccinations are no longer required for staff or patrons.

Beginning June 3 Ragtag will require patrons to be vaccinated against COVID-19, including at least one booster shot, or provide printed proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of attendance for all film before 5pm on weekdays. Proof of vaccination may be presented with a CDC Vaccination Card (or photo). Photo ID is required for both.

Beginning June 3 Ragtag Cinema will not require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for films after 5pm on weekdays or on weekends. All staff are up to date on their COVID-19 vaccinations.
