Lobby Attendant job outlook: Expert opinions
Our panel of lobby attendant experts
University of Wisconsin - La Crosse
Megan Morey
Assistant Professor/ Technical DirectorUniversity of Wisconsin - La Crosse
Theatre Arts
What hard/technical skills are most important for Lobby Attendants?
Megan Morey: The hard skills essential to working in many careers are the same for theatre majors - organizational systems, knowledge of Microsoft Office, and position-specific technology and software (such as CAD or QLab for Theatre Designers and Technicians). What I see from our graduates, however, is that employers beyond the theatre are willing and able to train new hires on position-specific skills; what they are really looking for is a candidate who can self-direct, think critically, learn new things quickly, and work with others - essentially all the soft skills, which take years of applied practice to develop.
What skills will help Lobby Attendants earn the most?
Megan Morey: I don't know for certain what skills will help someone earn the most, but I strongly suspect that adaptability is among the most important. When something like a pandemic hits, for example, a theatre major isn't going to give up just because live theatre has come to a halt - instead, they will think about what other ways they can utilize their broad skill base in creative and fulfilling ways. Theatre teaches you to roll with the punches and look for alternate solutions.
