- Ushering patrons to the correct theater, answering questions from audience-goers and directing traffic
- Greet patrons and distribute programs
- Set up/clean up and preparation of performance spaces/holding areas
- Assist performing companies with questions/needs and connect them to the appropriate festival staff
- Set-up and/or take down of Box Office, Merchandise and Bar stations
- Support our staff in carrying out "front-of-house" tasks for Teatro SEA's FREE outdoor theater performances.
- Run last-minute errands as needed
