Volunteering at the Fountain Theatre
The Fountain Theatre is operated entirely by volunteers and new help is always welcome.
Work at least twice a month and stay to see the movie for free. There are three functional areas: box office, concessions, and projection.
Box office volunteers sell tickets, memberships, and merchandise. We have a digital point of sale system so a basic knowledge of computers is required.
Concession volunteers set up the concession stand, prepare the area for sales and clean up after the film.
Projection volunteers start the film and control lighting and audio. They also troubleshoot case of any technical difficulties. A mechanical aptitude is helpful, but not required.
With experience in box office, concessions and/or projection, many volunteers choose to work as managers.
Managers are responsible for all steps required to open and close each film screening and coordinate the work of the other volunteers. As such, they must be familiar with all aspects of operation.
