FRONT OF HOUSE TEAM MEMBER

HELP REOPEN A SELKIRK LANDMARK

The Garry Theatre is preparing to welcome audiences once again.

Following years of community engagement, planning, fundraising, and renovation, the Garry Theatre is entering a current chapter as an independent, community-led, non-profit cultural venue.

As we prepare for reopening, we're seeking friendly, community-minded individuals to join our Front of House team.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of the team that will welcome audiences back through the doors for the first time and help shape the guest experience from day one.
