New Year, New Shows!

On behalf of everyone at Morpheus Theatre, we would like to wish Happy New Year to all of our patrons, volunteers and friends.  A big thank you to everyone who helped pack the Pumphouse Theatre last month to share in the holiday spirit!  If you saw a great performance at It’s a Wonderful Life, we encourage you to nominate a performer, director or designer to recognize their work.

WELCOME WIN!

Recruiting NEW Volunteer FOH Managers!

We are recruiting new Front Of House Managers to join our FOH team!
Typical commitment is 2 to 3 performances per production (with the option to opt out if necessary of course!)  

The Front of House Manager takes the lead in the box office selling tickets and works with the Stage Manager to make sure the evening runs smoothly.  The FOH Manager needs to remain in the lobby for the duration of the show, however, you also receive 2 complimentary tickets, so you can view the show when you are not working!  Ideal candidates would be comfortable navigating computers, using Excel, Outlook and counting money, as well as good communication & organization skills.
