What We’re Seeking

Does hearing your favorite song make you spontaneously break out in dance? Does making someone else’s day special give you all the feels? Do you love waking up knowing no two days will look the same? If you answered yes to those questions, you’re the one we’ve been looking for! We’re seeking fun-loving, dedicated and caring individuals for a variety of hourly positions who are fanatical about putting a smile on our Players’ and fellow Playmakers’ faces.
