[NEohioPAL] Ushers needed for Dobama's production of God of Carnage

[Lori - Dobama]

We are currently scheduling ushers for the last Dobama production, God of
Carnage, which runs from April 19 through May 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:
 
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
Box Office (1): to assist the Box Office Manager by giving out will-call
tickets to patrons
 
Here are the dates for this production (with arrival times) that we still
need help with:
 
Fri, 4/27 (7pm) - need 2 ushers + 1 alternate
Sat, 4/28 (7pm) - need 3 ushers + 1 alternate
Sun, 4/29 (1:30pm) - need 2 ushers + 1 alternate
Thurs, 5/3 (6:30pm) - need 5 ushers + 1 alternate
Fri, 5/4 (7pm) - need 6 ushers + 1 alternate
Sat, 5/5 (7pm) - need 5 ushers + 1 alternate
Sun, 5/6 (1:30pm) - need 5 ushers
Thurs, 5/10 (6:30pm) - need 1 alternate
Fri, 5/11 (7pm) - need 3 ushers + 1 alternate
Sat, 5/12 (7pm) - need 1 ushers + 1 alternate
Sun, 5/13 (1:30pm) - need 4 ushers + 1 alternate


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 God of Carnage: 
 
A Regional Premiere
Directed by Joel Hammer
GOD OF CARNAGE is the story of two seemingly courteous and civilized couples
who meet after their boys' fistfight in a neighborhood schoolyard. Michael
and Veronica, whose son's teeth were knocked out with a stick, invite Alan
and Annette, whose son did the knocking, to their home to settle the matter.
Civility crumbles. Grownups behave badly as these parents argue about who
influenced their sons' misbehavior. Carnage erupts with finger-pointing,
name-calling, stomping and carrying on. And then they break out the liquor. 
Starring: John Hedges, Scott Miller, Tracee Patterson, and Derdriu Ring
(all members of Actors' Equity Association)
Feel free to visit Dobama's website at www.dobama.org.
 
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.
