The Historic Plaza Theatre is searching for a few good volunteers to help out at the theatre… from assisting patrons, taking tickets, and answering questions to ushering and working at the concessions. Volunteers work as concessions, ticket takers and ushers at The Historic Plaza Theatre. Ushers are responsible for seating patrons, enforcing house policies, assisting patrons, and answering questions. They may also assist with mailings, staff fair and festival booths, and other tasks if time allows.

Become a Volunteer:

The theatre is now accepting applications! Volunteers will be required to come in at a specified time prior to the event, be trained on the spot, and then, if room allows, will receive free admission to the movie showing. (No vouchers.) They expect the same high standards of professionalism from volunteers as from paid staff members!

If you or someone you know may be interested, send an email to info@myplazatheatre.com.

Yet Abigail is not about to let the wrong costumes and a lack of talent stand in the way of a bad production.

Audition Dates: March 2-3, 2020 at 7pm

Additional Info: It’s the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews.

Auditions for If/Then

Audition Dates: April 27-28, 2020 at 7pm

Additional Info: Elizabeth, a city planner, moves back to New York to restart her life in the city of infinite possibilities.
