I’m hoping people follow that because the dance recital I went to this past Thursday most people took their masks off. I’m nervous about taking mum out, I really hope people follow the rules.
I hope you and your mom are safe tonight, too, but it sounds like a lovely outing. I hope the musical is wonderful!

Perhaps you can ask your daughter to sit a little away from anyone not wearing a mask at church. Hopefully that would increase their safety and enjoyment. I'd imagine that choice may be more available at the church than the concert. But even at the concert, if someone right next to you won't wear the mask, maybe you could move to other seats, if they're available. I would hope that an usher would understand if you wanted to do that. It would be easier (and less a chance of soliciting an angry reaction) than asking the usher to tell them to PUT THE MASK ON.
