[NEohioPAL] Dobama Ushers needed - Tigers Be Still (Oct 18 - Nov 13)

[Lori - Dobama]

We are currently scheduling ushers for the 2nd Dobama production, Tigers Be
Still, which runs from October 18 through November 13.
 
If you are interested in volunteering as an usher, please send an e-mail to
lberenson at dobama.org, or call 216-381-3323 during the hours of 9am and 10pm.
 
Here is a list of the positions that I need for each show:
 
Box Office (1): to assist the Box Office Manager by giving out will-call
tickets to patrons
Concessions (1-2): to be positioned at the concession stand to sell drinks &
snacks, and pour wine for patrons (and ask for donations)
Tickets / programs (1-2): to be positioned at the theatre door to take
tickets and provide programs to patrons
Seater (1): to help patrons find seats, especially at sold-out shows (there
are no assigned seats - all shows have general admission)
Greeter (1): to be positioned at the main entrance to greet patrons, and
direct them to the box office or the theatre
 
Here are the dates for this production (with arrival times) that we still
need help:
 
Tues, 10/18 - 6:30
Thurs, 10/20 - 6:30
Fri, 10/21 - 7:00
Sat, 10/22 - 7:00

Once you become an usher, you will receive a link to the Usher Schedule
online (updated regularly), and an Usher Information document that will tell
you everything you need to know about working as a Dobama usher.  In the
meantime, here are a few FAQ's:
 
1.     Dress: Black & white, any combination
2.     Arrival and Time Commitment: Ushers need to arrive 1 hr prior to the
show's curtain time (arrival times are shown above), and are required to
stay through the intermission
3.     Watching the Show: Most of the time, ushers will be allowed to find a
seat and watch the entire show.  However, if there is a sold-out house, and
there is not enough seating for ushers, you will be given a comp ticket for
another performance (preferably on Thursday or Sunday).  It may be a good
idea to sign up for an early show, and then if necessary, you can use your
comp ticket for a later show
 
 
Here is a little more information about the production of Tigers Be Still: 
 
A Regional Premiere By Kim Rosenstock
Directed by Marc Moritz
October 21 - November 13, 2011
Previews:  October 18 & 20
 Critically acclaimed in its 2010 New York premiere, TIGERS BE STILL is a
quirky, endearing and deliciously dark new comedy. Sherry Wickman, a young
woman, expects the perfect career and life to fall into place immediately
upon earning her master's degree in art therapy. Instead, Sherry finds
herself unemployed, overwhelmed and back at home hiding out in her
twin-sized childhood bed. But when Sherry gets hired as a substitute art
teacher, things begin to brighten up. Now if only her mother would come
downstairs, her sister would get off the couch, her very first therapy
patient would do just one of his take-home assignments, her new boss would
leave his gun at home, and someone would catch the tiger that escaped from
the local zoo, everything would be just perfect.
Please feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone else you know who may be
interested in ushering at Dobama.
 
Thanks, and I look forward to working with you soon.
