Have You Ever Considered Becoming a House Manager for the Players?
Did you know… every show put on at the City Auditorium MUST have a trained, city-certified House Manager present. In other words, we have to have a House Manager for every Players performance, or the show can’t go on.
The Players are in great need of more trained House Managers. (Right now, for example, we only have a House Manager for one of the three performances of The Addams Family.)
The House Manager oversees everything in front of the curtain for our shows at the City Auditorium. It’s a vital role for the Players, and really contributes to the positive theatre experience of our audience. It’s also an ideal position if you’d like to be involved, but don’t have the time to work on a show for the whole production period.
Responsibilities of this position include:
- Ensuring we have the required number of ushers, and training/overseeing them as needed.
- Controlling house lights and exit doors.
- In the unlikely case of an emergency, supervising the safe evacuation of the facility.
Audi House Managers are required to attend a training in order to be added to the City of Concord’s list of certified House Managers. This year’s annual training is scheduled for September 13 at 10am at the City Auditorium. Those interested in attending the training should sign up with Terri Stevenson at Tstevenson@ConcordNH.gov. (Note: After attending this training you will need to attend a crowd control training, and then shadow two shows, in order to become a certified House Manager.)
So, if you’d enjoy getting more involved and like working with people, please consider this opportunity to become an Audi House Manager!
