Ogunquit-Playhouse

Management is the biggest downfall of this playhouse. On the average day, multiple times, I would hear department managers openly discuss other employees personal information as well as bad mouth their workers and supervisors. It was probably the worst environment I have ever worked in- I think that high school had less drama. Management was petty and downright mean talking behind peoples backs. The physical environment was also awful with rats, mold and deteriorating buildings. They are surviving on their name, talented actors and donors alone. 

Through my experience here, I learned a lot about how to handle personal communication with customers. The Playhouse is a good place to work and being in the box office is a good place to be. Management is supportive, and the co-workers are great. The hardest part is undoubtedly dealing with conflicts or complaints from patrons, but this is often the shortcoming of customer service. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help people get what they want, and the gratitude they express.

If you're fresh out of high school and want/need work experience, or maybe if you want to work facilities to figure out what trade you want to pursue, this job is fine for that. 

The biggest issues with the playhouse is that there is very few people who can/will say "no" to certain ideas, and that is leading to the playhouse being incredibly overbudget. The Playhouse is spending more money than they are grossing, and it's not going towards the right things. 

Great place to work for people that have little experience in their field, such as students or people looking to build resumes.  As a regional theatre, the schedule is demanding and you're very busy.  Work/life balance can be tricky.  If you love theatre and are ready for a fast paced environment, you'll thrive here.  They put out stellar shows and having this on your resume will look good!

I had a wonderful time working at the playhouse and I would work there again if I had the chance. Everyone there was so nice and professional. It was nice to work in an enviroment where everyone actually wanted to show up to make the events at the playhouse happen. 

Everyone there works so hard, even when thing get frustrating. C0-workers and managers alike create friendly atmosphere in a very high quality theatre.

A good job in between other jobs. There could be a lot of potential to strengthen the team and make sure it's well managed if they could keep all employees for certain departments year round instead of so much turnover. 

I have loved working at the Ogunquit Playhouse. There is a great variety in the job, and every day is a new experience. Watching my young students grow and evolve as actors and singers brings me such joy.

Supervised 15+ 7-15 year olds in a production that ran 8 shows a week. Enjoyable work if you like working with kids in a theatrical setting. Ogunquit is a wonderful place to work.

Great people, great theater, good intentions, clear instructions from upper management on what the direction the theater is going, meaningful work bettering theater
