• Property Maintenance: Yard work may include gardening, mowing, weeding, watering flowers, etc.
• Show Production: Preparation and production for Saturday night shows includes making sure that the space is ready (may include light cleaning and mopping), offering support to visiting artists during load-in, running a technical rehearsal, operating lights and sound, helping load-out post-show and overseeing volunteers.
