    Description

    West Bay Opera Front of House Volunteers NEEDED

    Hello! We are seeking front of house volunteers for our upcoming production of Puccini's opera Tosca.

    Performance times are

    Friday, May 22 - 7 pm - Arrive 5:45 pm - Wrap up by 9 pm

    Sunday, May 24 - 2 pm - Arrive 12:45 pm - Wrap up by 4:30 pm

    Saturday, May 30 - 7 pm - Arrive 5:45 pm - Wrap up by 9 pm

    Sunday, May 31 - 2 pm - Arrive 12:45 pm - Wrap up by 4:00 pm

    Arrival times for front of house volunteers are mandatory, to allow for training and prep tasks.

    Tosca is a 3-act opera with two intermissions. Total duration under 3 hours.

    Volunteers need to be comfortable scanning tickets at the door, or selling beverages at our concessions stand, or ushering people to their seats. Prior experience is desirable but not indispensable. We will train you and assign you to a role. You cannot apply for a specific role but you can tell us what you would prefer.

    You do NOT need to commit to volunteering for all four dates.
