Tour Guide

Nelles Manor Museum

As a Nelles Manor Museum volunteer tour guide, a guide’s primary role is to welcome museum visitors and help them experience the museum’s history in a meaningful way. During a season, the museum may see a large number of tours, and the goal of a tour guide should be to ensure that all enjoy themselves, the museum, and have come out of the experience by learning something new to them. This position involves greeting visitors, sharing stories behind the museum’s many rooms and artifacts, answering questions to the best of the volunteer’s abilities, and helping the tour attendees navigate the manor safely while encouraging them to respect the house and its facilities.

Actor

Nelles Manor Museum

At least once a year at the Nelles Manor Museum, a theatrical performance is performed by a dedicated group of volunteers – The Nelles Manor Players. Whether it is a full show, murder mystery, or a smaller historical skit, an actor has the opportunity to not only improve their interpersonal skills, but to educate their audience on the ways of societies centuries past. Volunteers write the scripts, direct the production, act and source costumes, set pieces, and gather props from available resources. To this effect, actors are expected to learn their lines, blocking, and their role to the standards set by the director. Moreover, rehearsal and performance set ups and take downs are expected to be done by the volunteer cast themselves. An actor must be available to perform on the selected dates for the event, and for the majority of the rehearsals, which may take place several times a week depending on the performance.
