Box Office Volunteers
Welcome! Bien Venidos! If you are reading this, you are thinking about being a box office volunteer (BOV). Come on down!
The BOV is most likely the first individual that patrons encounter upon entering the theater, so it is important that s/he is a “people person” able to cheerfully welcome individuals and patiently answer questions. The BOV keeps a tally of patrons, collects money and sells memberships, posters and t-shirts. Along with the other volunteers, helps in making our patrons’ experience an enjoyable one.
If you are interested in being a BOV, complete the form to include your email address and phone number. The BOV coordinator will contact you, send you a Policies and Procedures Manual and schedule your training. After training, you are able to work any screening. You will be on the BOV distribution list and your phone number will be posted on the bulletin board in the kitchen. It’s the philosophy of the current BOV coordinator that if you want to work, you will work at least once/month. Through the BOV coordinator, you schedule yourself to work. Or, you can opt to pick a day and time that’s “yours,” for example, first Sunday matinee or second Monday. However, once you schedule yourself to work, it is your responsibility to find a substitute if you cannot work.
As a BOV, you have the opportunity to see great movies free of charge, get complementary popcorn and a drink when you work, get special prices for events but most importantly you help keep independent and foreign films alive and well in our community.
