CBSN
In a letter Friday, the Tony Awards told attendees it has a "strict no violence policy," saying any "perpetrator" will be immediately removed from the ceremony. The warning comes weeks after actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock onstage at the 2022 Oscars.
The letter mentioned several other rules, such as its dress code and COVID-19 policies, which require attendees to be fully vaccinated.
On Friday, the Tony Awards delayed its nominations announcement by a week — from May 2 to May 9. The eligibility cutoff date for the 2021-2022 season was delayed to May 4.
