House Managers Wanted!!!
Are you interested in volunteering? We are looking for volunteers to be house managers at our shows. House managers are in charge of the 'front of house', making sure our patrons are properly taken care of, working with the stage manager to keep the show running on time, and assisting with ushering, and the general safety of our audience.If you are willing to spend a little time training with our staff, be sure to contact Dale Borer at volunteers@cstock.org, or Rich Jacobson at rich@cstock.org. You will be given a date during an upcoming performance where you will shadow one of our current house managers and learn all that is involved in satisfying the role.
House managers must be at least 18 years old, friendly, quick on their feet, and able to lift at least 30 lbs. You must know about the CSTOCK season and other events coming up. We ask that our HM's dress appropriately for the evening and remember that 'you' are the face of CSTOCK.
