Sign up

Your first shift

6:30Landing Street door. The house manager meets you and shows you the seats, the exits and the loop switch.
6:45Doors. You tear tickets or point people to a row. Both are harder than they sound.
7:30Curtain. You sit at the back and watch the show. That is the pay.
10:00Sweep the lobby with everyone else. Home by 10:20.

Youth series rules

For A Christmas Carol and any show with a cast under 18: two adults present at every rehearsal and performance, never one adult alone with a young person, guardians sign the consent and get the emails, and no photographs of the cast go online without a guardian’s written yes.

Sample policy. A real theatre’s rules are set by its board, its insurer and its state. Nothing here is legal advice.
