Many performing arts groups and practitioners in the Klang Valley are seeking clearer guidelines when it comes to the standard operating procedure (SOP) compliance for theatre recordings and rehearsals during the conditional movement control order (CMCO) from Oct 14-27.

While performances with an audience have been cancelled according to CMCO rules, many groups are unsure on how to carry out other behind-the-scenes theatre activities (such as rehearsals, recordings, space rentals). This has caused several of these events or bookings to be cancelled.
