Front Of House

House managers are needed for every performance open to the public. Normally, volunteers are asked to help for 3 or 4 nights on a run, with responsibility for managing H&S matters front of house and liaising with the Stage Manager and backstage.

The House Manager is responsible for the safety and wellbeing of the public and may not watch the play or leave the premises while the public are present. Training is provided.

A bar is provided for audience members during a production run, two bar staff being required for each night. Normally, members are only requested to do one night during a run, but circumstances may occur when additional nights are required. Training is provided.

Tea and Coffee is served during performance intervals. Two volunteers are required task each night and who will also assist in selling programmes and showing the audience to their seats.

One ice-cream seller is required for each night of a production to sell ice-creams during the interval. As it is an “interval only” task, the seller may be in the audience on the evening they are selling ice-creams, or they may just turn up just prior to the interval and leave after it.
