Boch Center offering on-site COVID-19 testing in Boston

BOSTON — The Boch Center in Boston is the first performing arts center in the city to offer rapid COVID-19 tests on-site.

Attendees must show proof of vaccination or provide a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of a show.

“You get emotional, I’m almost ready to cry, because we’ve been dark for almost 18 and a half months,” CEO Josiah Spaulding said.

The Boch Center hosted performances on Saturday at the Wang and Shubert theatres and offered rapid testing for $30, with results available within 15 minutes. Attendees are also required to wear masks.
