A View from the Bridge
by Arthur Miller
Directed by Stephen Cox
In 1955 Brooklyn, an Italian-American longshoreman’s life is tragically destroyed by his unconscious desire for his seventeen year old niece when she falls in love with her illegal immigrant cousin. Come see Arthur Miller’s take on a classical Greek tragedy set in mid-20th century America. It is a tale both timeless and horrendously current.

Sweat
by Lynn Nottage
Directed by Bob Kleinberg
Through the intertwining experiences of unionized factory employees on strike against a tight-fisted management, Lynn Nottage crafts a masterful depiction of the forces that divide and conquer us. Yet along with the workers’ rage and despair, there is still poignant humor and expressive humanity in their daily lives. This Pulitzer Prize winning drama is a parable of what happens when you don’t know how to resist and provides a cautionary tale to all of us in our rapidly changing political, social and economic world.

Upcoming Events at GAC
Volunteer Opportunities!
Volunteer Crowd Managers Needed:
Greenbelt Arts Center (GAC) needs volunteer crowd managers. A crowd manager (CM) is an usher trained in crowd management through the Maryland State Fire Marshal’s Office (MSFMO). The CM welcomes patrons, manages any issues in the lobby prior to showtime, seats people with special needs and latecomers, and greets patrons at the theater door and checks their tickets. They then stay until the audience leaves. Throughout their 2-3 hour shift, they are responsible for making sure egress is not blocked, escorting people to safety in an emergency, and basic monitoring of the crowd. For the most part, they can watch the performance while keeping an eye out in the periphery for emergencies.
Good candidates should be good with managing diverse people, are at least 18 years old, and available for 2-3 performances a month. A typical show is 9 performances over 3 weekends. Both initial and ongoing training is provided. A background check is required by the City of Greenbelt because the volunteers work with children.
Please fill out the Contact Form found here, and our Box Office Manager will reach out to you.
