House Managers Needed for 23-24 Season

We are looking for energetic individuals to join our Front of House team as House Managers for the 2023/24 Expectations Season!

This season includes 4 plays, a musical, and a new works festival. Performances for each production are split up between a team of 4-6 House Managers, who work with Audience Experience Manager Darryl Smith to perform duties including concessions management, usher training and staffing, emergency management, and building security.

Interested? Email Darryl Smith at darryl@livearts.org.

*House Managers receive a small stipend for each show they work*

Office Help Needed

Help us update our database! We are looking for a few volunteers who can come in 3-5 hours a week over the next few weeks to work on updating mailing addresses in our database of volunteers, audience members, and donors.

Comfortable with email and basic data entry? We will give you instructions and the tools you need to help out (in person) in the Live Arts office.

Please email volunteer@livearts.org if you are interested!
