Employment

The Grand Opera House is looking for people to join our team!

Box Office Assistant

The Grand Opera House is currently looking for a Box Office Assistant to help in the box office during performances. Performances are usually Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:00pm one to two weekends per month on average. Occasionally there are mid-week performances, or weekend afternoon performances. This is a paid position.


Costumers, Props, Set, Sound, & Lights

The Grand is looking for individuals interested in creating theater to become part of the Grand Opera House family. The bulk of our assistance comes from a dedicated team of volunteers who do everything from acting to building sets and costumes, and working backstage during productions. These teams of volunteers are led by individuals who take on more responsibility in the production and as such we offer these key positions a stipend. We are currently looking for more people to fill these positions of responsibility. Each of these positions requires a commitment of time and a dedication to the production.

For additional information please contact Executive Director Nick Halder at director@thegrandoperahouse.com


Internships

The Grand offers a limited number of paid summer technical theater internships for those seeking their place in the world of theater, ages 18-24. Interns work closely with our Technical Director each day, and spend time with props, costumes, box office, and office staff on an as needed basis.

Internships are a 12 week commitment and begin in late May.
Applications are usually available in early February and are due by the end of March.

Additional information will be provided at the beginning of the year.
