Ticket Booth

We have started reusing the ticket booth out front, especially for movies, for people who don't have tickets to purchase prior to coming into the Theatre. This has really helped keep things moving efficiently inside at concessions, and it is a spot we want to continue to utilize especially for movies.

House Manager

The House Manager will stand out front and direct people who need to purchase tickets to the window (or inside if we are selling from concessions) and check that they have tickets. They will then send them inside to ushers.

Concessions Helper

If you volunteer for this position, you will be pouring fountain sodas, grabbing bottled drinks/snacks/candy/popcorn/etc. You will not run a register or have to deal with any money or the point-of-sales system.

Ushers

Ushers will check tickets for movies and events and are responsible for the seating and safety of patrons in the theater. They are also responsible for welcoming and assisting patrons and maintaining security, safety, and emergency awareness for events. After an event, ushers help maintain clean facilities in the house and lobby. Ushers must be aware of and comfortable enforcing house rules.

Event Volunteers 

Event volunteers will assist at special events outside the theater or within the community. Tasks for event volunteers could include patron check in, setting up, tearing down, and/or running/managing information or product tables, distributing materials and information, and/or selling items.

Committee Members

• Events/Development – Identify potential sponsors/donors, assist in development materials, correspondence, mailings, and presentations
