Front of House
The Front of House team is there to meet and great members of the public coming to see the performance on Brownsea Island. This starts at Poole quay as patrons arrive to board the ferry with members of the FOH team there to ensure that the evening runs smoothly and our audiences have a great time.
On the Island it involves providing information, selling programmes, showing patrons to their seats, and a host of other essential tasks. . As a member of FoH you can also help in the Refreshment Tent, with lots of delicious food and drinks to tempt our audiences. There is a great team spirit and many FOH volunteers come back year after year, enjoying the company and surroundings of the Island on a beautiful summer’s evening. Rotas are organised so you can volunteer to join the team for a couple of evenings or several, it’s up to you.
Auditions and Open Evenings are held every year in January, however you can join us at any time during the year using our crew sign up form.
Not to be missed!
Great place to go to for a summer picnic & watch a Shakespeare play!!
