STAY SAFE – INFORMATION ON COVID-19
UPDATE: Following the announcements from the Ontario government, La Nouvelle Scène Gilles Desjardins has elected that proof of vaccination will no longer be required for audience members starting April 1st, 2022. The mask is still mandatory for everyone at all times until June 30, 2022. We will also maintain physical distancing between groups in our spaces until further notice. LNS continues to follow government guidelines. Our number one priority is the safety of our audiences, artists, and employees.
La Nouvelle Scène has put in place several measures to ensure your personal safety. If you or someone you know has symptoms of COVID-19, do not show up at the venue. Your tickets will be refunded.


As of April 1, 2022, proof of vaccination is no longer required for visitors.
Masks are no longer required at La Nouvelle Scène Gilles Desjardins, although they are still strongly recommended.
Seating no longer be assigned. For the 22-23 season, we will return to ticketing on a general admission basis, and seats will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you need to leave the theater during the performance, you will not be able to return.
Hand sanitizing stations have been installed, increased cleaning is being enforced by our staff, only electronic tickets will be used, and entry to the space will be coordinated to avoid excessive contact between patrons. We have also purchased an electrostatic sprayer which will allow us to properly disinfect the venue – especially the seats – between performances.
The bar will be open, you can even bring you drink with you during the show!
If you are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, we ask that you stay home and do not attend the performance. You can contact the box office to receive a refund or a credit for a future performance. If at any time leading up to the performance, you feel unsafe coming to the theatre, you can also ask for a refund. No refunds will be issued once the performance has taken place.
