Playwrights Horizons
COVID-19 Entry Protocols

To best protect artists, audiences, and Playwrights, please be aware that both proof of vaccinations and face masks will be required in order to experience the production.

We accept the following digital and paper credentials: A CDC-issued Covid-19 Vaccination Record Card, New York State Excelsior Pass, New Jersey State Docket, NYC Covid Safe App, and Bindle, a free, encrypted, third-party app.

Bindle safeguards COVID-19 vaccination records and test results in a secure, blockchain data locker, keeping personal health and identity data strictly private and anonymous. Based on the entrance criteria of the space the individual is seeking to enter, Bindle will produce an anonymous entry pass, where no personal health information is shared. Bindle can be used to enter Playwrights Horizons, as well as museums, concert halls, live entertainment venues and festivals across America.

1. Download “My Bindle” from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

2. Create your account by providing your name, selfie, email address and birthdate. 
As a final step, you’ll be prompted to type in a verification code that is sent to your email address.

3. To upload your completed COVID-19 vaccination information including COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card, go to My Certificates on your Bindle and tap the “+”* icon and follow the instructions to create a digital health certificate. To upload a test result click on the “+” icon and then “COVID-19 Test Results”.

*If for any reason you don’t see a “+” on the screen please reduce your “Screen Zoom” and “Font Size” in your phone’s “Display and Brightness” system settings.

4. Once you’ve uploaded the necessary certificates, go to My Passes on your Bindle, search for the Playwrights Horizons and click Create Entry Pass.

5. If you meet the health requirements for entry, Bindle will generate an Entry Pass with your photo and QR code.
