Ticket Scanners
We need between 2 and 4 Volunteer ticket scanners for all performances at the Plaza. These Volunteers are located just outside the inner lobby doors and scan tickets as the audience enters the auditorium.

Ticket Sellers
We need 2 to 4 Volunteers to sell tickets at the door for all events at the Plaza. These Volunteers should have good money handling skills. It is also preferred that these Volunteers come from a small, regular pool of between 6 and 10 Volunteers as each Volunteer ticket seller will need to be trained on the operation of the ticketing software and ticket printer(s) and associated credit card processing hardware.

Will Call Desk
We need at least 1 Volunteer to supervise the Will Call desk. This Volunteer hands out tickets at the door to Patrons who have previously paid for them online or over the phone and just need to pick their tickets up.

Concessions
We need 1 or 2 Volunteers for every performance at which we sell concessions. This includes all movies and most live events. Large touring shows often prohibit the selling of food and drink and other concessions during their shows completely - or restrict sales to certain times. Additionally, some touring companies ask that we supply sellers for their concessions (T-shirts, CDs, hats, etc). We would need Volunteers for these sales also. These Volunteers also need good money handling skills.

Stage Crew
These Volunteers would work in assorted technical positions on a performance. The number needed depends on the size of the show and what is stipulated in an artist's contract. The number varies between 0 and 40. This could include helping unload and load trucks/semis as the artist arrives and leaves, helping set up the stage, speakers, and lights, running a follow spot during a show, or other "run crew" positions. These are probably the most physically demanding Volunteer positions as they often require extended physical activity and lifting. But they are often the most exciting positions as you may get to work directly with a national artist and see the show from backstage, or other very close and exciting vantages.

Hospitality / Runner
These Volunteers serve as a liaison (or assistant) to the artist and his/her entourage. We typically would only need 1, possibly 2, per event - and then only for large national touring acts. These positions often serve as "gophers". A hospitality Volunteer needs to have a valid drivers license and access to a vehicle to run quick errands. Hospitality Volunteers often will need to drive a rented passenger van to bring the artists and crew to the theatre from the hotel, or out to lunch or dinner. We also often need a Volunteer to pick up and return a touring artist to either the Louisville or Nashville airports. In all transportation cases, if we need to rent a vehicle (per artist contract) or if we need to reimburse a Volunteer for gas/mileage, we pick up the costs so the Volunteer is not out any money. Hospitality positions are very coveted among Volunteers as they often serve as assistants and drivers to national artists and spend a great deal of time with them one-on-one. Hospitality Volunteers must be patient, courteous, and above all a goodwill ambassador for both the Plaza Theatre and our community.

Clerical
These Volunteers vary in the quantity and frequency needed. These Volunteers would help with bulk mailings, poster and flyer distribution, phone campaigns and ticket sales, assorted daily operations, and other office / business oriented needs. These Volunteers are needed during regular business hours and not at nights and on weekends at the performances.

Administrative
Don't forget that the Plaza Advisory Board, the Film Society Board, and the associated Plaza committees are ALL Volunteers. No one doing any of these duties is paid. These Volunteers truly help define and direct the vision of the Plaza.
