Welcoming audiences, scanning tickets, showing audiences to their seats, tidying up and sitting in on performances as a Fire Marshall. Daytime shifts involve serving teas and coffees.
Do yo want a fun and friendly place to spend some spare time? Do you like giving great customer service? At The Place Theatre, Bedford, we pride ourselves on being a really welcoming venue to all our users and that's where we need your help! We have a packed programme of events every season, from week-long theatre shows to daytime workshops, events, music and comedy nights. Every event needs a team of volunteers to help our Front-of-House staff carry out roles including welcoming audiences at the door, scanning tickets, showing people to their seats and tidying up after an event. You may also act as Fire Marshall which means you get to watch the show! There's plenty going on during daytimes, and at weekends as well as evenings, so you really can find the hours to suit you. There's no minimum commitment and you do as little or as much as you are able. We currently have a need to fill daytime shifts on a Tuesday and Wednesday to serve teas and coffees.
