ABOUT DELINQUENT THEATRE

Delinquent Theatre is a Vancouver-based independent company that creates, develops, and produces new Canadian plays. Our work explores the figure of the delinquent as the resilient other – telling narratives of survival, ingenuity, and subversive action in the face of a hostile status quo. We strive to create working spaces that challenge and re-examine traditional hierarchies in order to allow artists to grow and thrive. We ask ourselves and our collaborators to imagine new ways of working instead of re- creating the systems we know, in order to respond to the needs of each production’s ensemble, and to push our work forward into new and uncharted territory.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

For the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 seasons, Delinquent Theatre will be in residence at the Annex Theatre downtown as part of the inaugural SeeMore Theatre series. We are seeking an Audience Services manager to help coordinator and lead a team of volunteers who will run our ticketing system through Theatre Wire and to provide a welcoming, warm, and inclusive experience for our guests. Some performances of our productions will feature ASL interpretation and audio descriptions – additional training will be provided to help box office staff best serve the d/Deaf and HoH community, and those who are blind, low-vision, or have vision loss. If, like us, you believe that everyone should have an excellent time at the theatre, we want to work with you!

The contract will run April 9th to the 20th 2019 with a few training sessions to take place the week prior. And then November 26th to the 7th 2019.
