Looking to contribute to the Performing Arts in New Plymouth? We seek volunteer Venue Hosts to provide Ticket Scanning, Usher and Customer Service at a prominent central theatre. The ideal candidate is confident when dealing with members of the public and responsible enough to perform Floor Warden duties, providing clear and calm instruction in the event of an emergency. The role requires a mix of patience during the shows and a sense of urgency for the demanding pre-show and interval periods. You will also be fit enough to negotiate the stairs and inclines of the theatre, or standing for an hour at a time. Volunteers have the opportunity to see shows on occasion and take great satisfaction in keeping New Plymouth’s premier venue a destination for World Class acts.Hours
