Zipporah Aguasvivas ASSOCIATE HOUSE MANAGER, AMERICAN AIRLINES THEATRE


Ted Sod: Tell us about yourself. Where were you born? How and when did you become the American Airlines Theatre's Associate House Manager? Zipporah Aguasvivas: I was born in New York, the Bronx to be exact. I started with the Roundabout Theatre Company In 1995, selling t-shirts and hats. I went on to become an usher, and after a few years I was promoted to Assistant House Manager. My title changed to Associate House Manager years later when I was working at the American Airlines Theatre.


TS: Describe your job at RTC. What are your responsibilities? ZA: Associate House Managing includes many things. In an effort to keep it short and sweet, I believe my job is to help the House Manager run the theatre. To know as much as possible about what they do so I can jump in at any time, if needed. I also have to be familiar with what the ushers do so I can help them as well. Another large part of the job is customer service. Helping the patrons have the best possible experience when they visit our theatre.


TS: What is the best part of your job? What is the hardest part? ZA: One of the best things about my job is that it keeps me active. I’m always moving around, and I feel challenged every day, physically and mentally. I’m never bored. The hardest part is not being able to please everyone. It’s impossible to make everyone happy all the time.


TS: Why do you choose to work at Roundabout? ZA: I choose to work at Roundabout because for me it has a family atmosphere. My coworkers are like an extension of my family, and my theatre is like my second home.
