VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

This year’s Vashon Theatre Fest features over 30 performances of five productions, and we wouldn’t be able to make it happen without an awesome team of volunteers! As a Front-of-House Volunteer, you’ll be directly engaging with the Vashon community: answering questions, clarifying policies, handling transactions, and being the first reason why our audiences smile! And best of all: you get to attend the performance you work free-of-charge.

You’ll also be supported by a Vashon Repertory Theatre House Manager. We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment and abuse from our patrons, and our House Managers are the people you can call on to resolve any situations that begin to feel tense. You’re our volunteers, and we love you! We want to make sure your experience as a Vashon Repertory Theatre volunteer is fun and rewarding.

Greeter

  • Welcome patrons and ensure they are at the correct production. Manage lines for box office, will call, and rush tickets. Turn away members of the public in the event a performance sells out.

  • This role may work in direct sun (depending on venue), and is best performed standing for good mobility.

  • This role is wheelchair-friendly (depending on venue).

Box Office

  • Handle cash and credit card transactions, and summarize box office policies (namely, no refunds). The ability to politely but firmly move the line along will be key.

  • All transactions are logged using Square on a tablet. Proficiency with tablets is required, and previous Square experience is highly preferred.
