SHU Community Theatre

Available Position

Box Office, Ticket Sales and Ushers

Fun customer-facing positions in our lively, growing theatre in downtown Fairfield for outgoing, vibrant individuals who enjoy theatres and theatre patrons. Sell tickets, collect tickets, help patrons find their seats and assist as needed. Friendly engagement with customers is paramount – you must be comfortable making eye contact with and smiling at customers.

Responsibilities

• Box office sales: box office sales team members receive and process telephone and walk-up ticket sales for concerts and movies. Must have good phone manners and decent computer skills.
• Usher: theatre ushers assist ticketed patrons to their assigned seats, hand out play bills and otherwise help patrons as needed.
• Ticket takers: ticket takers scan and/or rip tickets for entry into the theatre. As the first people to greet customers upon their arrival, friendliness is crucial.

Requirements

• Must be an undergraduate student and have pre-qualified for work study.
• Must be available to work weekends and weekday evenings.
• Must be prepared for the fact that the theatre is downtown, not on campus, and must be prepared to show up for work on time regardless. The good news is you get paid for travel time!
• Organized, hard-working individuals who enjoy working with people and are terrific with customer service.
• A car to get to downtown Fairfield isn't necessary but very helpful.
• Be punctual and ready to take direction.
• Knowledge of MS Office (Excel, Word, etc.)
  Note: If you have fewer than 8 hours, we'd still like to work with you!
