Get Involved: Front of House Volunteers

Many of our patrons don’t realise that whilst the cast and crew of a show are volunteers, so are our whole front of house team! Whether behind the bar, selling programmes, or checking tickets, everyone involved in the team is giving up their time to help out at WT.

It’s also a great way for our members to socialise, as well as meet new people, too! If you’ve not done it before, you’ll receive full training from our team, and for those that have volunteered for us before, we’ve instituted a couple of changes while the theatre has been closed to make life that bit easier.

At the bar, coffee bar, and front of house desk, when it comes to selling drinks, selling programmes, ice creams, coffees, etc., we’ve moved to a tablet-based system to make sure we keep an accurate record of what we sell, as well as offering our patrons the chance to buy with cash, card, or contactless!

Each of our 10-night productions has 60 front of house roles to fill over the run, so there are plenty of chances to get involved, meet new people, and help keep WT running for our audiences.

If you’re a current member, the front of house rota for the next show is available in the My Account area, but if you’re not a member and would like to volunteer, you can get in touch with our front of house team! Either send an email to foh@wokinghamtheatre.org.uk, or visit the Contact Us page, and drop us a note.
