I am responding to the NEW protocols released by Actors Equity Association for the return of live theater.
As reported by Phillip Boroff (formerly of Bloomberg News and now of his own Broadway Journal), those protocols include things like:

Mass transport cannot be used. A private car and driver must be provided for every AEA member reporting to/from rehearsal (Uber and Lyft services do not qualify).

Members must be put up in hotels if they don’t live alone.

3 required tests before rehearsals begin, each of which must be paid for by the Producer and cannot be covered by the Actor’ Health Plans, even if they have coverage.

And a lot more.
You can read all of the posted guidelines, right on the AEA website. (They’re incredibly well organized and separated by the type of production a Producer might consider in the near future (indoor, outdoor, etc.)
If you want to read more of my thoughts on these new protocols, go to my blog.
