Volunteer Interests:

Ushering: This task involves direct contact with the public. If you enjoy greeting and helping people you'll fit right in. You'll need to arrive an hour before the show to help put programs together, the house manager will be there to give direction. You will learn what to do in an emergency, enforce the rules of the theater and maybe run concessions. You will help pick up the theater after and get to view a show.

Box Office: This task involves direct contact with the public, both in person and over the phone. This is a job for a "People Person", someone with an outgoing personality. This is definitely a public relations opportunity, a chance to promote the Firehouse Center, the arts community and the community of Newburyport. It requires that you be on a specific schedule, for example: every Thursday, from 3 pm to 5 pm. You must be comfortable using a computer and working with money, but training on the specific programs will be given.

Office: We are a non-profit and have a limited staff. Sometimes we are yelling help by the end of the day! Your job would be helping with copying, doing mailings, typing, making phone calls and helping our office in anyway you can contribute.

Posters: Take some time put up posters around your town to help spread the word about Firehouse events.  If you're from out of town all the better!

Clippings: This Job involves keeping the history of the Firehouse. You'll clip newspaper articles and place them so our existence can be traced. It sounds boring but we will make it fun!

Backstage: There are small jobs that need to be done back stage so if you love the theater, back stage will be exciting for you.
