COVID-19 Reopening Guidelines Recommendations from the USITT Technical Production Commission T he USITT Technical Production Commission introduces a series of post- COVID-19 Reopening Guidelines. This portion of the project was coordinated by Rich Dionne and includes work by a team of 29 section authors and numerous specialists, consultants, and advisors from throughout the entertainment industry. Members spent the spring and summer consult- ing existing guidance documents from CDC, WHO, OSHA, and industry experts to cull pertinent information from expert sources. The result is a series of best practices guidelines drawn from these resources, looking ahead to a time when we are all able to reconvene together. Each section includes reference document links for each recommendation. This selection is a portion of a growing collection of guid- ance documents. As conditions change, we expect the expert advice may also change, but readers can use these guides and their reference links to access advice from these agencies and experts. URLs will link to the relevant documents from the on- line version in the Willard F. Bellman Archive. Individual handout-style versions of these and many more guides are available online at the USITT site: www.usitt.org/ usitt-technical-production-commission-covid-19-guides. 32 | THEATRE DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY | WINTER 2021https://www.usitt.org/usitt-technical-production-commission-covid-19-guides https://www.usitt.org/usitt-technical-production-commission-covid-19-guides
