Volunteer

Each show requires two ushers. Ushers arrive one hour prior to the show, and also get to see the performance. Tasks are as follows:

• Check for debris in the theater prior to show
• Place program inserts in playbills
• Greet patrons as they arrive in the lobby, answering their questions, letting them know about any special things going on that night
• Check tickets and showing patrons to the correct row and the correct seat(s)
• Collect donations and/or collecting playbills from those who wish to turn them back in
• Check returned playbills for re-use and put them back in boxes

Each show requires two concessions workers, arriving one hour prior to the show. These tasks are prior to the show and during intermission (if the show has one). Volunteers also get to see the performance. Tasks are as follows:

• Check and replenish stock if needed
• Fill out cash box tracking sheet
• Wait on patrons for pre-show and intermission sales. We take cash and will have a Square available for credit/debit card sales. There would be complete training to use the Square and someone on site in case a problem arose
• clean out coffee machine and tidy up workspace after intermission
• Count cash box and fill out cash tracking sheet, return cash box to Box Office

• Building/Installing Sets – TAP is building larger and more interesting sets by the show!  Work with Technical Director Alex Polzin to build, paint, and install these sets.  Get a chance to see how it works before the show!
• Strike/Deconstructing Sets – Work with Technical Director Alex Polzin to dismantle the sets following the final performance of each show. There are jobs for all skill levels from taking apart set pieces to rolling electrical cords and basic everyday cleaning.
• Working on the set requires closed-toe shoes and you would generally want to wear clothes you won’t mind getting dirty.

• Transportation – Designers and actors can arrive at or depart from Milwaukee or Green Bay, but still need to get to Sturgeon Bay. You can drive them here, give them local insider info, and get to know an artist.
• Housing – TAP hires designers and actors from throughout the county and has limited access to company housing. Housing opportunities can last from 10 days to 7 weeks.
• Meals – Individuals and businesses might provide a meal for the company during the first week of rehearsal or tech week. Enjoy sharing a meal and getting to know the company!

• Mailings – From time to time, we have small mailings that may require folding, sealing, labeling, stamping, and/or stuffing envelopes.
• Marketing Support – These volunteers are responsible for the distribution of brochures and posters throughout their community. They assist the marketing department in maintaining an accurate list of locations.
