Job Description: The O'Connell Center provides an exciting and dynamic environment that makes us unlike anything else.

You will also be assisting patrons by answering questions or helping them to their seats, scanning tickets, and maintaining a friendly and positive attitude throughout the crew. For Changeover shifts, you will assist the facilitation of the setup and breakdown of events, as well as helping maintain cleanliness during events. For Technical shifts, you will be assisting with the stage, electrical, and audio aspects of the event.
You will be trained before you can work any of these shifts, so no prior knowledge or experience is necessary but is always welcomed.
