The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is reported to be extremely contagious. The state of medical knowledge is evolving, but the virus is believed to spread from person-to-person contact and/or by contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, and even possibly in the air. People reportedly can be infected and show no symptoms and therefore spread the disease. The exact methods of spread and contraction are unknown, and there is no known treatment, cure, or vaccine for COVID-19. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life threatening illness and even death.

Cutting Edge Theater cannot prevent you from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while attending Cutting Edge Theater’s events or being on premises. It is not possible to prevent against the presence of the disease.

I hereby choose to accept the risk of contracting COVID-19 for myself and/or my children in order to attend [Cutting Edge Theater’s event and enter the event premises. These services are of such value to me [and/or to my children,] that I accept the risk of being exposed to, contracting, and/or spreading COVID-19 in order to attend Cutting Edge Theater’s event and premises in person.

I hereby forever release and waive my right to bring suit against Cutting Edge Theater and its owners, officers, directors, managers, officials, trustees, agents, employees, or other representatives in connection with exposure, infection, and/or spread of COVID-19 related to attending Cutting Edge Theater’s events and premises. I understand that this waiver means I give up my right to bring any claims including for personal injuries, death, disease or property losses, or any other loss, including but not limited to claims of negligence and give up any claim I may have to seek damages, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen.

I understand and agree that the law of the State of Louisiana will apply to this contract.
