A Well Oiled Machine
Backstage and onstage aren't the only areas that help make sure our theatregoers have a delightful experience. We also depend on volunteers to help manage the business side of the theatre.
The Membership Drive
Each summer, we try to get the word about our upcoming season out to as many people as possible. We typically send out mailings, use media placements and depend a lot on word of mouth and direct, personal sales. Both the preparation of the materials and the organization of the incoming responses are time intensive projects. The more hands we have available to help the better.
Seasonal Box Office Fun
Getting the season off the ground isn't the only task for our box office volunteers. As the season gets rolling, the jobs shift to show specific duties. From answering calls for reservations to assigning seats for the shows, our staff helps ensure a smooth ride for those coming to the productions.
We rely on volunteers to take tickets at the door, greet our patrons, usher the audience to the correct seats, and get the show started no more than five minutes late. (That was a theatre joke.) Again, we've found there is no such thing as having too many volunteers. And, there's never experience required to help with our shows. There's no need to worry about a significant time committment when you volunteer to help with the box office. We're always looking for ushers and helping with that only takes about a half an hour.
