Parker Players Theater Company is seeking organized, friendly, and dependable volunteers to serve as House Managers during performances at the Barrington Theater.
The House Manager helps oversee front-of-house operations and ensures that patrons, volunteers, and staff have a smooth and welcoming theater experience from arrival through curtain call.
Responsibilities include:
- Arriving before the performance to prepare the lobby, check-in area, and theater spaces
- Setting up ticketing tablets, signage, projectors, and patron-facing displays
- Greeting and coordinating front-of-house volunteers
- Assisting with patron check-in, walk-up ticket sales, and audience questions
- Helping manage seating, accessibility needs, and late arrivals
- Monitoring lobby and bar activity before the show and during intermission
- Making pre-show and intermission announcements as needed
- Supporting post-show audience exit and venue clean-up
The ideal volunteer is calm under pressure, highly organized, and enjoys interacting with people. Strong communication skills and comfort troubleshooting minor issues (technology, guest questions, logistics) are helpful. Previous theater, event, hospitality, or customer service experience is a plus, but not required.
This is an unpaid volunteer opportunity. As a thank-you for your time and support, House Managers are invited to enjoy the performance free of charge.
