Front of House Manager - January/February 2019 - Mabou Mines

Mabou Mines is looking for a House Manager for a week long engagement in January/February, 2019. The exact dates are January 31, February 1 & 2, and February 4,5, and 6 from 5pm-10pm each night (5hrs/shift), plus a 1.5 hour orientation/training shift to be arranged.



We are looking for an outgoing, friendly, responsible and highly organized individual with at least 1 year of house managing experience. The House Manager is expected to manage all front of house tasks for performances with or without the presence of senior staff. There are two 50 minute shows performed back to back each night, so the applicant must be comfortable with a fast-paced (and fun) festival environment. You can learn more about SUITE/Space on our website.



Applicants must be Fireguard-certified or willing to get certified before beginning work. Applicants with a Fireguard ID card for another location must apply for a new card for Mabou Mines' location. (The cost of the application will be covered by Mabou Mines.)



Some basic job duties include:

- Coordinating with the SM and the performers to open the house and start the show in a timely manner.

- Helping make sure the space is tidy and presentable for audiences.

- Orienting and supervising all volunteer ushers.

- Handling patron questions or special requests, as well as any patron emergencies, in a friendly and efficient manner.

- Ensuring proper fire-safety procedures are in place each night.

- Keeping communication flowing between the production team and the front of house team.



If you are interested in the House Manager position, please email Yasmeen, the Company Manager, at manager@maboumines.org with your resume and a brief "letter" of interest in the body of your email, and we will reach out for an interview. We hope to find the right candidate who can continue to work with us on future productions. Thanks!
