Volunteers for the “front of house” roles are extremely
important: they are the welcoming faces of Main Street
LIVE as patrons arrive; they enable our audience members to experience plays and events in a safe and comfortable space; they are valuable extensions of the
MSL organization.

“Front of house” refers to the entrance and lobby, the gathering area, bar & snack bar, and the seating surrounding the stage. Some of the specific roles at Main Street LIVE are:

House Manager - oversees the “front of house” activities other than the play/event itself and may assist other volunteers as needed.
Usher - directs patrons to the seating area, assists with any special needs, and distributes programs.
Snack bar attendant - sells refreshments.
Bartender - currently serves beer & wine.
Ticket Sales - greet those who enter to purchase their tickets and handle the transaction.
