FRONT OF HOUSE VOLUNTEER TRAINING!

Looking for a way to get more involved with Oak Ridge Playhouse?
Join us on Saturday, June 27 from 10:30am-12:00 Noon for our Front of House Training! Whether you're a returning volunteer or interested in joining our team for the first time, this training will prepare you for roles including VBO Ticket Sales, House Managers, and House Supervisors.

We'll cover:
✔ Patron experience and customer service
✔ Front of House procedures and expectations
✔ Communication and teamwork
✔ The new ticket scanning app
✔ The new VBO Box Office platform

Breakfast refreshments will be provided.

Front of House volunteers are an essential part of every performance. You're often the first person a patron meets when they arrive, helping create a welcoming, organized, and enjoyable experience from the moment they walk through our doors.

Volunteer perks include complimentary tickets to a future performance, opportunities to connect with fellow theatre supporters, and a chance to play a direct role in keeping live theatre thriving in our community.

This training is required for anyone wishing to volunteer in a Front of House position.

Big things are happening this Monday! ✈️💛

Single tickets for Come From Away go on sale online June 8, and we are doing something we have never done before. For the first time ever, we are opening up single tickets for our entire 84th Season at the exact same time!

If you want the best seats in the house for Come From Away (opening July 10) or any other production on our upcoming lineup, Monday is your day to lock them in.

Come From Away is the smash-hit Broadway musical that tells the incredible true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small Newfoundland town that welcomed them after 9/11. It’s packed with heart, humor, and unforgettable music—and we are thrilled to bring it to the Oak Ridge Playhouse stage this summer.
